We do not recommend repotting Phals in fall/winter, and especially not when
in spike or bud unless you are willing to sacrifice that spike to encourage
plant growth. The best time to repot, for most plants, is soon after they
bloom, when they start to make brand new roots and/or growths.

That said, if your plant was robust when you repotted, it will probably get
over it, and even go ahead and bloom without sustaining any lasting damage.
Orchids are TOUGH plants, that seem to have a tremendous will to live.

Hey Everybody,
I repotted my phal violacea var alba in spike two weeks ago, the roots
had little green tips, but after I repotted they dissapeared or got
smaller, and the spike is growing a lot slower.
Could it just be recovering and storing energy for new root growth?
I repotted it from moss into moss
