Is it all the leaves, or just the lowest leaves? If the newest leaves have
brown tips, I would cut off the tips with clean razor blades (make sure you
cut all the way back to healthy tissue). If it's the lower leaves, just let
them die off. There are many different causes for the leaf-tip dieback
(hard water, too much fertilizer, etc) that can vary from plant to plant,
it's hard to figure out why it's happening sometimes. Your plant will
definitely be stressed out after losing the roots. If you can get new roots
to start growing then you may save the plant.

Please can anyone help me. My phal orchid has wrinkly leaves & from past
advice in the newsgroup I found I was over watering my orchid & it had
rotten roots. I have cut back the roots & repotted it. The leaves are
going brown from the tips & are getting more wrinkly. I moved it from the
kitchen window sill to the bathroom, where it is more shaded than direct
light. Is there any hope for my orchid or not ??

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks
