the best time to re-pot or divide Phalaenopsis is just after flowering. After dividing and repotting place your plant in shady and humid area until continued new root growth is observed.
If the leaves are soft and limp the plants are probably very light-sensitive, and should not be placed in a sunny south-facing window.
Or the cause is lack of water or dehydration. The next step is to determine why the plant is not getting sufficient water. First, look at the roots. If they appear a healthy white or green and are plump, and the medium is in good shape, suspect underwatering, especially if the roots are white and the pot is very light. If, on the other hand, the roots are in poor condition, suspect root loss. If the plant has no roots, it cannot take up any water, no matter how much you give it. In this case, the cause may be root loss owing to overwatering or medium deterioration, or a recently repotted and poorly established plant. The immediate solution is to raise humidity in the plants vicinity to reduce stress on whatever roots there may be, and then simply wait until the plant establishes.
You don't have to divide your orchid, it may be shifted into a larger pot.Phalaenopsis should be repotted in a fresh medium every one or two years. Good luck!
