Default Unexpected Phalaenopsis

We did most of our Easter stuff tonight, since my sister is home from college and will have to go back. So we invited some relatives over for dinner, and my aunt brought over her orchid for me to rescue. She was worried because it's no longer blooming and one of the spikes had dried up. I told her that's a normal thing that happens, and it looks fine on the surface, but of course I still had to check the roots.



Quite a bit of bad root length, but still some good ones.



Here's the flowers from when it was blooming, back in February.

It's a beauty, that's for sure. Personally I'd just leave it in that mix as is. But I'd water it less. Or if anything just put some foam in the bottom of the pot.

I think it looks OK and if it were mine I wouldn't rush to repot.

I agree, I wouldn't repot yet either. The plant looks to be doing just fine.
