Ah, we have such varying growing environments, learning what it needs later on helps. Don't worry Verac, I have killed my fair share of Phals, and finally understood what needs to be done in my area. So enjoy your blooming show for now! Eventually you will get the hang of it.
I can't grow my Phals outdoors here either, it will get dry roasted, so it is always indoors year round by our west facing windows. The windows are tinted, and there is shade further from the canopy of city trees and I pull the white curtain to further shelter it from intense afternoon sun.
