    Default The sun and bloom stalk manipulation

    Hello. I have a spiking phal. When downstairs the bloom stalk was growing more upright. I then placed the phal. upstairs where the oaks did not shade out the sun as much. Now the bloom stalk is more horizontal. Could I manipulation the stalk by turning the phal. a quarter during a week to create a better display when it blooms?

    Sure. The buds and blooms will turn to face the sunlight.
