Phal - cutting back rotten roots and aerial roots - big mistake??

[hyprgrl79]

Ok, so I have this deleriously happy Phal getting ready to burst into bloom & I'm pretty sure I just doomed it... I'm hoping for some advice how to help it recover.

I lifted it from its growing pot & trimmed back the brown mushy rotten roots & set it in some fresh media (mostly fir bark)... Now I've read that by cutting those rotting roots I may have introduced bacteria and/or fungus to the root system. Is there any way at this point to prevent a bacterial/fungal takeover?

On top of that, I am ashamed to say that (without doing any research first) I trimmed back all the aerial roots. Mistakenly, I thought they were dead. I didn't realize how vital they are to the health of my Phal.

So now, it has one open bloom, tons of buds, several green fleshy roots, healthy leaves.. but no aerial roots.

Is it doomed or is there anything I can do to encourage its continued flourishing... or do I just need to step back, let it be & let it recover in its own time...

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks!
