    Default Phal help please...

    Hi everyone! New to the forum as i am trying to troubleshoot so i thought i would ask those who know and have been successful. I have 3 Phals. One hasn’t bloomed in two years. One i am plantsitting and is doing ok. None have stems. I mention this because i can’t get the others to bloom! The third phal i bought on clearance after it was neglected and i wanted to have a project to see if i could save it. Well we were off to a good start but are heading downhill. When i got this Home i let the last flower fall and cut the dying stem. I reported it in medium. Noticed it had potting soil in the tool ball so i took that all off. It had rows of leaves that mostly were wilted and wrinkly. Well now 6 leaves have yellowed and fallen off. I am wondering if it is trying to heal the damage from the store. I am not overwatering. I have it in an east window with filtered light. I’m concerned this baby is going to die and i still want to give it a shot and see if i can turn its life around. I may not have enough medium around the base but wanted to take some advice from the experts. Let me know what you are thinking. And thank You for the support to a new learner who loves plants!! And especially loves orchids. I will upload my photo shortly.
