You need to provide more information. What zone do you live? If in the US, what State? What is your light exposure, temps?

You need to get a pot with some drainage holes. I'm sure you can find an old plastic pot and cut some holes in it. Any pot as long as it isn't too big. Find one close to the size it was in. You can keep the ceramic pot for show.

Please give more info and maybe some pics of your plant.

Before you go any further, you should find some complete culture notes on the net that are written for wherever you live in the USA.
Is it the right time of year to fiddle and do you have the right conditions to fiddle?
It the orchid potting mix you purchased suitable for Phalaenopsis? Miracle-Gro orchid soil might be intended for orchids such as Oncidiums which have fine roots and therefore need a fine potting mix.
Look at those leaves, in the other plant world, they resemble succulent leaves, and should tell you to stay your watering hand a little.
Anyway, tell the posters here where you are in the USA, read some past posts about Phalaenopsis (Put Phalaenopsis in the search box to find them) and good luck, if you succeed Phalaenopsis are rewarding.

First of all, I am NOT a big supporter of Plastic or Ceramic pots because they don't BREATH and let enough moisture out.

Believe it or not AIR circulation and DRAINAGE are important to growing these type of plants, and compacted dirt or a medium of fine material that hold a lot of water will more often than not kill these types of orchids. Here, I'm talking about orchids with fairly decent size roots ..i.e. Cattleyas and Phalaenopsis.

My main focus right now are Cattleyas, however I have a couple of Phals and I almost lost one of them because it was planted in rocks and DIRT! ... in a Plastic Pot! That was about a year ago.

It got to the point where it only had 3 leaves left and one of them was deformed badly. I repotted it in an old clay pot (which is what I had at the time) and in a medium of rocks and bark and here it is now. I just took this picture. Note that it's getting ready to flower.

Here is my 2nd Phal. Notice that it has 4 stalks that are getting ready to bloom. Pic taken just now.

Disregard the bamboo stick sticking in it. I can't take it out because the roots have wound itself around it below. Guess I could cut most of it off. LOL

Again, it depends on where you live and the humidity/air movement you have. I have grown orchids for a long time in NY, zone 5-6 in plastic pots with success. I find plastic pots with good drainage is an advantage when dealing with dry, stagnant air. Clay pots dry out too quickly and roots nearest the pot edge will die.

The OP did not give any info on where she lives, therefore no advice can be offered except to get the plant out of a non-draining pot. Anything is better than a pot without drainage. She states she cannot afford to buy a pot.

Almost everyone has an old plastic pot laying around and that was my suggestion.

Branmuffin, you live in zone 9. I recently moved to the same zone and have switched 'most' of my orchids to clay because of high humidity. You also have, what appears to be 3 Phals in one pot.

Sorry it took so long for me to come back. I thought I was supposed to get an email whenever someone replied to my post, but I never did.

I live in NY, zone 5A according to some website I just found. We have a coal stove and because of that we tend to have super dry indoor conditions. My thermostat thingy says the indoor humidity right now is 15%, and that's with humidifiers going in the bedrooms. I keep the orchid on our entryway table in the living room. It is not directly in front of a window but the whole room is quite bright during the day, all day long. It is near the front door, so I suppose it does get the occasional draft when the door is used, but it is not constant.

I will try to see if I can find a cheap plastic pot with drainage that I can set inside the ceramic pot. Though it might seem strange, I don't have random pots just laying around, since I have never kept plants before. I destroyed the pot the Phal came in to get it out without damaging the roots.

The bag of Miracle Gro says it's suitable for Phals. It is a pretty chunky mixture with bark in it.

As of now, the leaves are still looking good. The flowers have not declined since my last post either. I'd like to post pictures but my computer doesn't have an SD card slot and I have yet to get a USB converter.

Thanks for all of your suggestions, and keep them coming!
