Sam-- best thing to do is type your post's title in the search field and read away-- loads of your questions, worries and concerns will be answered this way.
But for me, I have repotted every new plant I get so I can see for myself the health of the plant and roots. Then it goes into fresh medium and a new, plastic and clear pot. Be sure to read up on what pot size you might need for your plant-- they do not enjoy overly larger pots!
Finally, post a pic of your plant! There is a lot we can tell from a photo and besides, we like seeing the flowers.

You're welcome. I hadn't thought about it before, but yes, some phals really do look "akwardly tall".
