Nice! The only thing holding me back from getting one of these is the size of the leaves![]()
Size of the leaves? No big deal.
Need to be kept really warm, ID think that would hold you back, Chris. That's my problem, but as I'm about to move south, I might be able to handle it more easily.

Stunning colors Elio!
I think you've been typing Kelpmax too often Ray.I'm in the process of building a cold room now so we can have the house a bit warmer. Where are you headed?

I thought the ones I saw at last weekends show were big compared to other Phal's.
I don't know what that has to do with KelpMax....
Phal. bellina is known to be particularly warm-growing.
I'm moving to Oak Island, NC, which is about 60 miles north of Myrtle Beach SC.
Hah!,, I didn't catch that. Damned autocorrect.
OK. I fixed it.
Nice. I have this one as well. I will do my best to keep it warm. My leaves are a bit curly like the ones in the picture. I was worried about it but I guess this is normal ?
