It's like the 4th from last pic. Either peel off the dead root or snip off the leaf completely. The leaf is starting to turn black and it could spread.
Otherwise I will second the vase method. I spray my roots every day, leaving a tiny puddle for my vanda's to drink at the bottom of the vase during the day and then they dry out overnight. It provides better humidity around the roots but still enough ventilation so your roots won't dry out as fast. A full water culture will not work. If roots still dry out too fast use moss or what I do, cotton wick which doesn't rot

Hi there. The root was not really dead, it looks bad but it's still "viable" The black spot in the leaf might been from when I had it in my tree and it might have been burnt a little but I did remove it.
She finally showed me that she's loving all the TLC she's getting and it looks like I'm finally getting a fresh new root!!! So exciting (See Picture)
Ray: I don't really like the water culture and I agree that is not appropriate for my zone so I got the wood baskets and put some moss in it since they barely have roots and I have been watering them twice a day since it's super hot and they dry so quickly.
There's this brand on amazon for the kelp. What do you think?

I have relocated some of my Phals under my avocado tree.
Thanks everyone for the helpful tips
First picture is the new root and the rest is how I have them all now, including my little baby
