New growths turning brown and withering from the bottom up

This has been a rapid onset issue with a few of my plants, others not pictured here. Some of them weren't even growing in the same area when it started.

Are you saying you think it's coming from the plant and not the mount? Or that it's infected the plant and my repotting intervention won't help? I'm not sure Philadelphia county is going to care...

I've had this dendrochilum cobbianum in this little pot for about 3 years. It started out very small and now it's spilling out. I thought it would be about time for a repot especially since it hasn't...
