(If I knew then what I know now...) I hope yours turned out OK--I tossed mine. It had suffocated because it was all packed in with sphagnum. So yes, I have seen leaves get weird and mushy.
    Not sure what you mean about not being able to post photos. You can post photos as soon as you post your first message. See the link in my signature for information on how to post photos.

    I too have a phal with mushy leaves. I looked at the web site posted here and the leaves on my plant look nothing like the ones displayed.
