My first orchid!

13 years ago

This is my first time owning an orchid and I have a few questions. It came in a pot of that special bark that orchids are usually grown in.The pot is pretty full with roots. The roots that were coming out of the bottom had root rot because it was sitting in water. I dumped out the water so I think the roots will be ok. So do I need to repot it? It seems happy in the pot that its in. Also I noticed that the growing tip in the center,where the new leaves come out has been chopped off. I assume that this was done to force it to bloom?It worries me because no new leaves are growing. It is a white phalaenopsis but the flowers are blue because it is color infused. When it blooms again it will be white.
