Dee's Phalaenopsis (since May) pruned above second node after last flower fell. Now stem yellowing/browning, one leaf yellowing. Medium feels damp, southern hemisphere cold. Asks if safe to water, should she repot.
Dee, you should repot. Use fir bark based mix or equivalent. Wet mix before use (dry bark removes moisture from roots). During repotting, check roots, remove mushy ones. Use pot with many drainage holes for airflow. Flower spike on some hybrids only good for one flowering, dries up—can remove. Not related to your care. Keep above 60°F. After repotting, room-temp water, weekly okay.
