Updates on previous threads-Please help!

Hey! I wanted to update on two of my previous posts and get further advice:

(1)Dying Phal with Keiki

I had this phal and it has lost all of its leaves. It doesn't look like the keiki is growing new roots. It looks like the keiki is keeping this plant alive haha. Is that even possible? I try to give it light while distancing it from the others.

(2)http://www.orchidboard.com/community...ture-phal.html

This phal is blooming beautifully, but two of its more mature leaves have turned yellow and fell off much like the other one in (1). It lost some media so I just put some moss on top till I could repot after flowering. I'm not sure if that was bad, it's just it's so big and awkward I wanted to get some help in repotting it.

Here is the link of the updated photos: https://plus.google.com/photos/11414...JDYwtGswIDm8QE

First one goes to (1) and rest go to (2). Please help with some advice. As always, I thank you so much for assisting me.

1) Potentially possible, ultimately probably delaying the inevitable though if it does not start to produce more roots or a new terminal growth.

2) Plant looks fine to me, it's common for Phals to lose their lower leaves and most of the time they only have 3-5 leaves at any given time.

Personally I think the repot after flowering thing a misnomer. Its best to repot whenever there is new root growth, I don't find it really matters if it's in flower or not. I also haven't really noticed that repotting in flower affects the bloom time much as long as care is taken and conditions remain the same.
