Thanks all!
Yes, I am upright now!
Elaine, I lose almost every Phal if I keep it outside over the Summer. Even tilting the plant so that water will not collect in the crown doesn't always help. One time a leaf turned overnight into that watery smelly slush, I could have sworn a Squirrel had peed on it. I cut out the affected mess and was able to grow that plant a few more years.
About that sawdust - how about submerging the plant/mount in water?
