Does anyone understand it's situation? Is it going into dormant stage because of the season? Or does it need to be heated up a bit?
Thank you!

Phals don't have a dormant stage. Your Phal. Dragon Tree Eagle has some other issue. Your conditions are a bit cool, so it may need more warmth. But in general, for those that aren't thriving, you do need to get a closer look at the roots. If you haven't repotted your new plants that had mold problems, that's the
first thing that needs to be looked at. (I thought that had been done) Phals in particular can be repotted any time, their rooting pattern is not seasonal. When you do that, and rinse off the roots, you'll also remove potential problems. Don't worry about getting all the old medium off. Preserving roots is more important. But newly acquired plants usually do need repotting... nobody pays the vendor to repot, so plants get sold at about the time that they really need it.
