Hi Molie, here's what I would do 1. Remove. The spikes they are almost done blooming anyway. 2. Remove all dead brown roots, not needed. 3. Give the roots a wash nder the sink(don't get water in the crown) then rince with some hydrogen peroxide. Get a smaller pot that can hold the roots comfortable. Repot using a mix for phals. Keep in a little lower light for a few weeks also water just enough to keep the mix moist. Since your going to put it in a pot and not a mount, you can place the orchid stright and upright, if it does not do so comfortably you can always use one of the stakes the bloom were tied to to hold it in place. I hope this helps. At lest this is what I would do. Velleta.

Thanks, Velleta. I'll do this today. This orchid is not spectacular, but it's the first one we bought so it has sentimental value.

"Get a smaller pot that can hold the roots comfortable. Repot using a mix for phals."

I have to agree. I only have one little phal, rescued from office purgatory, and the best thing I ever did for it was put it in a 2lb deli container with holes and bark instead of moss. I also cut off any root that didn't have any "meat" to it, and now, every time I water it, It pops out new roots. I can't wait till it blooms again!!

Very impressive, Lynn. Sue is easier to see what's going on in there than it was in the pot mine was in.
