What Causes Smaller Leaves &amp; Stems?
Default

So, in my experience, phals can at times produce smaller leaves and shorter spikes when they are exposed to TOO MUCH light. If this is the case, the leaves of your phal may be too bright a green. If the leaves remain fairly dark, then it could also be the opposite, too little light. Remember, in nature, phals rarely get 12 hours of good light, they grow under heavy canopy. Fertilization (nitrogen) can also make a huge impact on foliage, so consider that. And then of course, a night time temperature of below 74F about, inspires flowering. I think they look fine to be honest, but I would try fertilizing more. Just be sure to dilute more then recommended.
