Ray, thank you for your reply.
Plant is happy, medium is fine however, like I said I definitely overpotted it and it's wobbly without the added support of a metal wire going across the pot. I want to remedy that. So I will repot it since you're saying that now it would be the perfect time.
Regarding the fertilizer: actually, on the label, the recommended strength is 1ml/L. So when I said I'm using 1/4 of recommended strength that means that I've been using 0.25/L monthly since September. Since you're saying that there's no specific growth season for phals, do you think I should start fertilising weekly with the recommended strength, or your suggestion 1.8ml/L? Usually, humidity is pretty high here ( around 70% - 90% all year round - only in the last two weeks it dropped to 30 because of lack of rain) so during winter when the temperature is lower, I water around twice a week. I thought maybe I should avoid fertilizing every other watering during winter. I don't know. What do you think?
Regarding the light: I know that phals are low to intermediate light plants but mine seem to love a bit more brightness. The 5 that get the morning sun are all in spike, while the other two who are in deep shade aren't. They all get the same treatment in terms of watering and the temperatures are the same in the whole house - including the night time temperature drop ( it's a small Japanese apartment) Moreover, this particular one kinda bent from the middle 90 degrees - so the usual V of the phal leaves is now horizontal towards the window lol.
Sorry about my long messages, I just want to give all the information so that I can receive adequate feedback.
Thank you,
Stefan.
