The title says it all, talk about repotting gone wrong.
Extremely unfortunate (and puzzling) in my part, really.

But in all seriousness my phal hasn't been taking in water since I accidentally sprayed its roots with 30% hydrogen peroxide solution instead of 3%. Needless to say its been losing water with no signs of recovery ever since and I'm freaking out.
Also it has no aerial roots but its leaves are still very much green, droopy but green.

Your plant is being kept WAY too dry! In that coarse a mix, you can keep it constantly moist with no fear of suffocating the roots.

Have you ever gotten a drop of 30% H2O2 on yourself? Well I have, and it's not fun. Very much like touching the glowing element on an electric stove. I wouldn't be surprised if you toasted those roots and that plant, but Ray is right, it needs to be moister. Just don't be surprised if the roots rot away when you do it.
