Phal root help/general advice

[bagoly14]

Hi,

I just got my first phal orchid a few months ago, and now its dropped all its buds. I cut off the spike at the base and now while doing that, I realized the roots are looking quite strange.

The some of the roots are a light brown, but when I cut one of them off, there is still a very strong strand of the plant root inside. Any advice on what I should do?

I am unaware if this is a problem due to overwatering or underwatering. I water the phal once a week by slowly pouring water over it. The phal faces a west window, so it recieves quite a bit of indirect sunlight all day. Also, my room is quite hot, usually around 75 F
and quite dry too. I also have very little air circulation in my room. As for fertilizer, I give it a very small amount every week.

I will post some pics soon, but if anyone has any advice on what I should do with the light brown roots, or just general advice, please let me know. Also, the phals leaves seems a little soft and sometimes quite weak.

Thanks in advance for any help.
