The plant will bloom when it feels like it... some may sit and tease you for months, there's nothing that you can do to speed up the process... any sudden changes, in fact, are more likely to cause bud blast. Orchids teach patience. Repotting will retain less water, not more... Phals hate to be soggy. If the contents of the pot is mostly roots (as opposed to broken down media) you are probably best off just leaving it alone. Phals love a wet-dry cycle on their roots. So water well, let them dry out for a few days, repeat.
