Yellowing/browning of leaf tips, other symptoms, various orchids

That was one of my first thoughts, lol. I can't seem to find a basket big enough for both pot and plant though. I'm loathe to get rid of the pot and break up the roots - I don't want to upset this...

Root Rot and Dehydration...

Ok so this orchid of mine had root rot, I cut off the ugly roots, and now the leaves looked wrinkled (sign of dehydration?) When are you supposed to replant an orchid that's had root rot?
