My phalaenopsis (moth) orchid roots drying/dying
Default My phalaenopsis (moth) orchid roots drying/dying

Hi all - I'm a total newbie and I need help.

My moth orchid was doing really well until recently. I noticed a lot of roots are drying up and dying. Smaller ones looked completely dead, some larger roots are dried only in the middle section. The leaves look good but the flower stem looks bad. I've attached some photos for your perusal.

Also, how/when do I re-pot? The roots are growing out of holes in my pot, do I break the pot to re-pot the plant? Right now I have moss, is that the best medium?

Much obliged!
