Default Phal yellow leaves issue

Xref: kermit rec.gardens.orchids:59488

I have a Phal that has 3 leaves on one side and two leaves on the other
side, and now both the bottom and the middle leaves on the first side
mentioned are going yellow, and thus once it has lost those two it will have
1 leaf on one side and 2 leaves on the other (so it's going down from 5
leaves to 3 leaves total).

I have had this plant only for three months, it has not grown a new leaf
yet, it is still in bloom.

Is it ok for me to wait until it is done blooming, and repot then, or if it
were your Phal would you want to look at the roots of this plant earlier
just in case?

If this plant does not grow a new leaf in what amount of time, or if it
looses another of its leaves before growing new ones, when should I start to
be concerned?

The only other Phal that I have that has had only 3 leaves had serious root
problems when I repotted it (but it has grown new roots and a new leaf in
the meantime).

Am I fussing too much, or do I have a reason to be concerned here?

Thanks,
Joanna
