Then I would leave the root ball out of the pot and let it dry out. Is it in sphagnum moss? This can be used very successfully to grow Phals, but you need to learn how to water it properly.
Pots should have drainage holes. The more humid your growing environment, the more holes they should have. If you're growing in your home, and it's not that humid, a single bottom drainage hole is adequate. There are a lot of interesting things at second-hand stores that can be drilled to make plant containers. Phals don't need large pots. As a beginner, choose the smallest container that will hold the roots when you repot. Later when you have more experience you might be able to use a somewhat larger container. If I'm growing phals in regular pots with regular media I still use the smallest pot that fits the roots.
