We grow our specimen Phals in slatted baskets with a minimum of media, to start we hang the basket in the tradtional horizontal position then once they are well rooted on we hang it on it's side so the plant is oriented as in nature to reduce the water standing in the crown. Sometimes when we flip them they take a litttle while to re-orient themselves but it in no way slows down their growth.
