Have you slid it out of the pot to really examine the roots?
Hi Silken,

I had it totally out of the pot when I got it, because it cane in a plastic baggie when I bought it, so I unwrapped most of the moss (mostly to loosen it up) and got a pretty good look at the roots. Everything seemed good at that time. When I posted this I just moved some of the moss to peek at the roots. Do you think it's best that I take it out again and have another look?

I'm pretty sure it's not getting any bright sunlight at all, as I have it kind of around the corner from the window, but I will move it even further back to where my other Phal is happily sitting and see if that improves matters.
