Phalaenopsis spikes become top-heavy with buds; staking prevents breakage. Hanging baskets suit vandaceous and pendant-flowered orchids (Stanhopea, Cyrtopodium) in high-humidity greenhouses—they dry too fast for typical home conditions.
If you try a hanging basket for Phalaenopsis, the spike will hang naturally. Test on one plant first; you may need exceptionally high humidity and frequent watering to succeed.
