Please help me!! I bought a Blue Mystique Phalaeonopsis last Thurs. and it's bloomed out with 7 beautiful blooms and 2 buds remaining. As soon as I got it home I cut off the cellaphane and set it on an end table about 2 ft from an east facing window. I didn't water it or do anything else. Now it's entire potting mix on top and the roots are covered in mold. So far the blooms are still looking good.

What should I do? I love it and I want to save it! I took the clear plastic pot out of the glazed pot it's in and set it on a little bed of pebbles, with no water in it for now, and set a small fan gently blowing toward it. Most of the roots inside the pot look green but there are several places where the roots look dark green, yellowish or black. I did not take it out of the plastic pot...I didn't want to upset the blooms. This morning I went ahead and watered it thoroughly & dabbed off the mold with a paper towel. I misted the soil & leaves with original "gold" Listerine this afternoon.
Can you tell me what to do please? I've murdered several orchids over the years, and finally ordered a book which is supposed to tell all about them. It didn't say what to do in this case though. I'd appreciate any help at all!
