A year isn't too much, but also wouldn't hurt for a repot... if the pot is staying wet for a month, the medium may be too water-retentive. A way to check on how fast the plant is actually drying...After you water it, weigh the pot on a kitchen scale or postal scale. Repeat the next day. When the rate of change of the weight slows down (not that much water left to evaporate) it is time to water again. Phals like humid air, rather than "wet" around their roots. I think ideal is to have it dry out to the point that it needs watering about twice a week, or at most once a week. Then water it well - let water run through the pot (which also pulls air into the root zone) .
