I had the same observation. If you plant Phals in pots, they really do need the ones designed with numerous holes or slits. If you potted this directly into the ceramic container, your Phal will suffer. Best to remove it now, you can use the same medium (if it's been prepared already) and leave it alone, until it needs watering. The roots can and will love being crowed in their pot, that's what you want, just enough room to fit comfortably without breaking them. Best of luck.
