    Default Phal. Joy Micholuedde

    I hate flowers that point down. This phal is mounted on a clay jug. It has 8 little flower spikes. But every flower that opens is pointing downward. It makes it impossible to display. Very frustrating.

    Imaginative mount. I assume you fill the jug with water?

    Yes, I keep the jug full of water that seeps through the clay. I also mist the plant every morning.

    That is nature for most of the phal species, I was told by my friends during buds time if we spraying with mineral/ ion Calcium such as Calcium chloride/gluconate the flower will point upwards it's happen to Phaius trankervillae so far I never try it maybe we can try as experiment.
