Help for a sick phal - only has aerial roots left

[Lani]

Unfortunately I didn't take a before photo. I think this little guy might have been ready to fire out some new root when I mounted it so may have been a case of good timing. I'm happy regardless
(By the way, this is pre-watering hence looks a little dry)

Thanks everyone for your responses.

So I made a mistake cutting off the bottom leaf. Will remember that for next time.

With watering should I still water if the media is completely dry or not at all? I watered it in when I first repotted and today I very gently misted the leaves from a distance and also sprayed water on the aerial roots/top of the media. Should I not even be doing that?

On the plus side I have noticed that at least the media is drying out, previously I had a bark mix with a bit of charcoal in it and that always seemed to be moist through the bottom.
