Hi all!
Brand new phal owner... I hope it's not weird that I refer to my newest plant as "her"... I've never felt like that about my other plants. I may have even named her Gemini. Anyways!
I just bought my first orchid from a -very- reputable source... the grocery store. Hey, I figured I wasn't ready to invest too much in case I'm not a great orchid mom.
She's lovely and has bright, deep speckles of purple on her flowers, and currently has two spikes (?), both with blooms.
She's in a pot without drainage, as far as I can tell. The pot is full to the brim with damp-verging-on-soggy sphagnum moss (I think that's what it's called? please see picture). I had to pull a leaf off the bottom that was getting mushy - I wasn't too happy about that. I'm assuming I'll have to repot her, since she's too soggy. Should I use mulch? As well as find her a pot with good ventilation/drainage. I was wondering if I could also try drying out the moss slightly and putting stones in the bottome of the pot (as I do with my other plants) and use the moss still? Or is it just a bad idea?
Also, in transport, on of her spikes was badly damaged by the clips holding it against its support (see picture). Some of the unopened buds are looking a little sad (see picture), although the blooms that are open still look great. Should I just leave it how it is, or cut part or all of it off?
Lastly, I think she might be two in one! (Hence Gemini) In one of the pictures I've attached, you can see the moss and what I think are two plant bases. (As well as a sad stub where they cut off one of her leaves

). Is this a problem? Should they be separated?
Thanks!
