Default Need recovery!

I purchased a Phalaenopsis a few years ago and the plant did well for over a
year with plenty of blooms that lasted over 3 months. Then, I had the
bright idea of repotting it in a glass jar with only a small hole at the
bottom. From then on, the plant foliage started to get all soft and a few
leaves turned yellow, same thing with the roots. I believed the pot kept
too much moisture and the orchid had started to rot. I repoted it in its
original container (terracota pot) thinking the orchid would recover... It
did not and now I have only a few healthy roots and no foliage left! Since
the leaves turned all yellow, I decided to cut them all.

My question is: Since I have roots left, will the foliage start to grow
again? I have been waiting for a few months (about 3 months) with no
results. I would welcome your expertise and suggestions, is ti possible to
save this plant?

Thanks for your help!
