David, I would move it as the buds may blast or burn if it touches the roof.
Is it in a pot or mounted on something?
If it attaches to the wall, you may not be able to move it later!
Cheers Wendy

I've got a phal (Happy Girl) which I suspended near the top of a warm
house
and it has now grown a lot of aerial roots and attached itself to the
brick
wall of the house (some of you may remember a while ago I asked for ideas
of
what to grow on a brick wall - but I didn't expect phals to do well!).
It's
now throwing a vigorous spike (about 18 inches so far) which has reached
the roof.
Question is whether to leave it or try and pull it down - I don't want to
risk breaking the tip, it seems to slightly adhere. The alkathene roof is
sloping 30 degrees from the horizontal. Do you think it will grow down
along
the roof without attention before the flowers pull it down or would you
try
and pull it away?
Thanks, David
