yes you can separate the two plants, and probably should considering that they are under stress. they would benifet by being in separate pots, and would be easier for you to monitor thier condition....as far as the broken spike, just cut it and put it in water, the buds may perk back up and open, if not you havent lost a thing...the cut spike may branch out with a side spike as mentioned above....quick fix on potting media is home depot or lowes orchid potting bark...it isnt a good quality, but it will do till you find something better....put the plants in a 4" pot, bigger pots arent needed or appreciated by the plants...
