Phal (Color-Infused) dying?
So I have a blue-sapphire phalaenopsis that was doing pretty good when I got it, it's rather big, blooms being about 3" i believe. The blooms fell off and after a few weeks the leaves withered, turning yellow and flexible, but there was still one very healthy leaf, it was just the smaller leaves that got sick. My brother accidentally broke off the healthy leaf but i continued to water as i did as the roots were also shriveling a bit. My water cycle consists of filling the pot and letting it soak for 30 minutes once a week. I know that this is too much as they're yellow but im not quite sure how long/much i should soak it for/in. Anyway, the orchid in question has now lost all of it's leaves but one small sick leaf, there seems to be crown rot and a few roots are shriveled badly. Any tips at all for saving her would be wonderful. Pictures of the poor plant below.
