I'm sorry, I meant to say the top of the spike, not the top of the plant. When I checked that leaf hat was growing on the spike today, I noticed it has begun to shrivel up, so that dryness seems to be traveling down the spike. I also decided to repot it, and I'm glad I did! Upon removing the moss I came across rotting roots. The green I was seeing was on the tips of the roots and they were black and mushy in the middle. So I ended up having to trim a lot of the green roots off of the orchid. Thankfully I still have a few roots left, even though they are yellow. There are also two small nubs growing out of the base of the plant, I'm hoping these are new roots so I don't feel so bad for having to cut so many off. Thank you for suggesting the phal thread, it's quite long, but there's some great information in there!
