yeah, yours is looking good sade! what is a booster??
ours are fair to middlin’. the one in s/h has stalled, but i can see growing roots in the leca, so that’s encouraging. the one i put in the terrarium stopped for a couple weeks, but now the new leaf it started has continued to grow and it’s almost full size. so some encouraging signs of life, but no blooms, that’s fo sho! keep it up!!

This is just stinkin' ridiculous compared to mine. Mine's gonna get a booster... right in the seat of its pants with my 7.5 size cowboy boot!

holy cow!!!
mine is mounted on the shingle it came with along with all my other phals....it has done zero- no growth, no leaves lost....one root has grown made an inch.
i am going to leave it alone all winter which will be dry and bright and temperate and see if it wants to wake up in the spring. I feel like it was shocked (shipping) and then shocked (originally placed it poorly and it was not watered for first 2-3 months) and shocked (moved again and started actual care) and it is going to just sulk a bit hahaha

I told you I was sick of this plant slow behavior but it did come with a good root system, so 2 spikes came alone very ugly and fussy, then flowers started to grow and die the next day, so I used Keiki paste in the tip of the spike and on the buds that were not developed yet. Then, I placed inside the tank, humidity about 20% more than before and less air circulation.

daaang, looking good! way better than ours as well. the one in s/h has not done anything basically, but the one in the terrarium is growing again and put on a nice full leaf since going in and started another a couple weeks ago. thinking this is a perfect terrarium phal since hearing your experience as well....

Dang that plant looks amazing Sadde!! If we were actually having a contest in these projects I would declare you the winner!  
Mine is doing the same as DC; absolutely nothing! And contrary to him, I have not been messing around with the plant. It just sits there, and does nothing... And I consider myself a pretty decent Phal grower. How about we pick an easy plant for the next project??

Come on Camille, if this was a contest, I'll be disqualified, I just confessed I used Keiki paste 
But anyway we should open a FALL project !! With a fast-growing option |

Mine's doing "OK".
It's still pretty small though.
I'll try and post a pic tomorrow when I'm out in the shade house.
