So right, Donna. We were getting so many questions about growing Phals, that's why we created a whole new "Sticky" thread - it's one that stays at the top of the list of threads - just for beginners with Phals. We had threads all over the place with different questions. So from now on when someone posts we'll direct them there, where they can find all the answers already written down and gathered together in one thread.
Btw, I do see Phals displayed at shows with the blooms cascading, as well as upright. Usually they're mounted on a piece of wood or cork, or in a hanging basket.
