Welcome to Orchid Board
I would say that phal could do with repotting. I don't like the moss in those tight flexible pots. You see them a lot in the UK on mini phals sold in the supermarkets.
In that last picture the moss looks old and it WILL be VERY tightly packed from my experience of buying these. That could suffocate the roots quite quickly. Repotting when you have root growth is a good time to do it.
I've experimented with these a bit, because while I have 20+ phals growing well, the ones sold like this have caused me some problems. The latest is doing well, and with that I re-potted immediately I got it into a medium that I could keep moist most of the time, but still allow a lot of air to the roots.
I used lecca in this case, but I think loose moss would also do quite well. While usually I would avoid moss the ones sold like this did not like the drastic change to bark in my experience (which is what I usually grow in). Their roots seem to be adapted to wet growing, but the moss they are growing in is too tight packed to also let the roots breath.
Unfortunately if you re-pot you also risk loosing the flowers, although my latest one didn't and you don't always. However the 3 like this I bought and didn't take straight out of the existing moss died within a month of root rot. A couple of others survived longer having been re-potted in bark, but their roots didn't really like that drastic change. That's why I've come to the conclusion that Lecca kept fairly wet or moss kept damp but not sodden is the best thing for these.
