Floppy-leafed Phal (and a general request for guidance)

[ajssbp]

Hi everyone,

So I kind of new to Orchids, although I've always like them and been jealous of those would could grow them successfully. After many envious remarks of others, my girlfriend got me a Phal hybrid in this last October. It was in bloom when I got it, and the blooms lasted until the beginning of January. At that point they fell off, I trimmed the stem to just above the last nodule and 4 new blooms have since grown (yay!)

Now for the not so good part......... when I got my orchid the leaves were nice and green and rigid, but now they're rather floppy. I have several new roots growing (4-5 that I can see above the bark), but I'm not sure how many are left growing below the surface. The plant has been knocked over a few times and it feels kind of loose in the bark, so I'm wondering/afraid if the couple of spills broke/killed some of the existing roots. I don't think there's root rot but I'm not completely sure as I haven't unpotted it since I got it. I have been apprehensive to do so while it is in bloom. I only water it once a week, and it seems to dry out completely between waterings.

Although in the pictures it looks like it's in a solid pot, the bronze pot is actually just a container, it is actually potted in a clear plastic inner pot with plenty of drainage holes and the outer pot doesn't have standing water in it. I guess I'm just not sure where to go from here. It seems fairly healthy except for the floppy leaves (which are kind of dark, I'm assuming it's not getting enough light? although it's in a SW window.......but it is Michigan so....). Any help/guidance/wisdom anyone could share would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
