Default pot recommendations for monster phal

This phal needs a new pot. It is currently in an Aircone pot 7" which is the largest size.
I really like the clear pots, but am worried that a round clear pot will tip over (the aircone pots are heavy enough)
any recommendations for this plant?

If you can find a clear pot that is round and deeper add some stones to the bottom for weight and drainage. It is beautiful by the way. Great growing.

You could use a round clear pot and slip it into a clay pot for stability. OR, you could just go with clay. As my Phals get larger, I try to use a medium that drys a little faster. Using a clay pot would serve the same purpose.

Wow fishmommy. That is amazing. Do they make any bigger cone pots? Seems really happy with the cone pots.

this thing has thrown out a 3rd round of buds on each spike now. it's crazy

This one really really looks like my Phal Baldan's Kaleidoscope (pictured below). Do you have a name for this one?

yep, that is the one! you are Very good!
It was the very first orchid I bought that was not for the terrarium. It was my top pick since I first discovered orchids! I am endlessly delighted by this plant and its almost constant explosion of blooms. Long lasting, too.
I purchased it at A&P Orchids while at a conference on Cape Cod (MA) along with my Ho Chi Minh, my Trevor Rathbone vanda and my Sweet Orange Ascd.
I have been delighted with all of them.
