Hi,
There was an accident where the stem that holds the blooms and spikes was crushed and dying off. I had to cut the stem down to the base of the orchid, all that is left is the green leaves. The green leaves are still very healthy after 4 months, but shows no signs of growing another flower stem. Will the orchid ever grow another stem and produce flowers again? Do I need to do anything special?

My orchids collection is vast. they used to have lots of flowers. When the rains came, there were very few flowers, and those that came out lived only shortly. Now, I see some white spots on the leaves, and even the blooms dry and the flowering is aborted. It has been sunny, and I expected the blooms!
My orchids are out in the sun. The white spots look like scales. No, they have not been over-watered because I have not changed the routine.

I bought a Phal from Lowes the other day. It's in flower and I know if I repot it now, I will probably lose the blooms, but it has been in this pot for at least a year according to the attached tag, and the potting medium smells mildewy. If I don't repot it now, will the plant die because of the mold? Please advise, I'm a newbie with orchids!
Thanks!
It looks like sphagnum moss, but it's kinda funky looking, there may be some bark in there.
