Welcome!

Earlier Jim mentioned Phals don't like to be moved. recently that point was brought home to me. One of my sons has a normally very happy Phal and when I visited over the 4th of July weekend all the flowers were drooping. He was disappointed because usually the flowers last for months. It turned out that the plant was originally right next to an aquarium and he had moved it across the room. We put it back by the aquarium and by the next morning the flowers had started to perk up again. It is hard to see in the second picture but after just 24 hours back in the more humid location it was happy again.
