Default New to orchids. Could you rate the general health of the plant?

I recently bought a phalaenopsis and need some advice on it. I'm not a complete newbie (I grow carnivorous plants quite well) and have researched the general requirements.
Could you tell me whether the plant is healthy or not?



After the flowering, would it be advisable to cut the entire stalk off? I value flower quality over frequency, and also the general health of the plant, so I assume that doing this will allow the plant to recover for a more magnificent blooming.

I also noticed that there are roots growing out of the pot. Should I repot the plant, and if so, should it be done after the flowers have wilted. I plan to use a live sphagnum/ peat/ perlite blend.

And lastly, is the area where I am growing it bright enough? (the picture corresponds to the real brightness)


Thank you for your time.
