It's my saved white phalaenopsis Shorten the spike that didn't put new grow?
 
:hello:bowing
It's my saved white phalaenopsis should I Shorten the spikes that didn't put new grow? cause I am starting to get yellowing leave it's root have been cut from 15 to 9 cm because of rot and it was repotted by me now should I cut the other spikes so it will focus energy on rooting(To cut all the way down till the first eye)?
It's yellowing leave also look and feel dehydrated so I make sure to spray water on top of the bark because he has shorter roots now but other leave are fine he is not dying right?! I mean I took him and cared from him from scratch and he been showing only good sings and growing leaves and blooming spike till know so the yellowing leaves are normal he's just trying to refresh the leaves?(trade them for the new ones?)
:think2:
And thank you for your supporting

The bottom leaf yellowing might be natural dying off. The spikes may be browning either from the root trimming, or it too could be natural.

I see whiterabbit but should I cut shorter the spike that didn't put out a growing spike or should I leave them?

I don't think you should worry about this plant. I think that pot is too big for the plant, but otherwise you have
1- Perky leaves. Firm leaves on a phal usually mean it is getting enough water. Floppy leaves mean either over or underwatering.
2- Green leaves. The color on the rest of the leaves is great! It isn't too dark, too light, or anything.

The yellow leaf on the bottom seems normal. Phals always naturally drop their lowest leaf or two when they are ready, and it doesn't mean anything is wrong with the plant.

I wouldn't cut the spikes at all! That plant looks overall pretty healthy! :)
