phal with no leaves Female
Unhappy phal with no leaves (accident - roots are good)

I accidentally knocked my phalaenopsis off a shelf. The orchid had a ceramic display pot that crushed all of its leaves. Two leaves detached immediately, the final leaf had a slight rip next to crown. The last leaf is now working its way off. I am thinking about trying to supper glue it back on but the leaf is only attached by less then 1/8" so I am not sure if glue will help.

The orchid was newly potted two days before it fell so I know it has an okay sized root ball. I only cut off two rotten roots when I replanted so it was healthy. It is currently planted in 100% bark.

I have read that phals with no leaves will sometime grow a keiki. I have issues with bark drying out too fast when it's fresh so I am wondering if I should move the roots into a 50/50 bark moss mix?

I also have hydo beads, but I have no experience with hydroponics.

Does anyone have any advice? Is there something I can feed it? When I replanted I gave it super thrive and sterilized in physan.

Any tips or tricks would be appreciated.
