My mother bought me this gorgeous cym from Costco for my birthday and as I've searched up about it, I've come across various pests I wasn't aware of, having only had a phal for a year, and not having experienced too many issues with it. Bugs have never been much of a concern since I grow my orchids indoors, however, as I've only just gotten this cym, I've got my share of concerns. In any case, I've found various little webs on it, super small webs along the leaves and in the middle of the plant among the bulbs. It also has mottled leaves, where the a few of them have turned yellow, from tip to halfway down the leaf.
At the moment all I've done with it is clean the leaves with a damp cloth, but I wish my biggest concern was that my cat can't keep her eyes off of it; I dug around the roots a bit and found one root that is completely shriveled, another that's quite yellow (are the supposed to be a pale green like phals?), and a big silvery mess of web in the media (or is it mold?). Before washing it down I found strange little gray balls around the pseudo bulbs, most of which crumbled when I squished them between my nails.
I'll include pictures of the webage/mold among the roots, as well as a shot looking down at the pseudo bulbs in the middle of the plant.

I was wondering if I should re-pot it now, because of the mold/webs in the media, as well as the media looking super broken down; should I wait until it's finished blooming?
Any awesome secret grower tips?
