I have a Phal. It's been blooming since late March. It still has
three flowers left but I'm guessing within a few weeks they will fade.
There are a couple of tiny flower buds but they are not growing. It
recently grew a new leaf and looks like another may be on the way.

There are two flower spikes.

How can I tell if the plant needs to be repotted? I really hate to do
anything to it if I don't have to. It had more than 20 blooms and was
so gorgeous it took my breath away.

The pot it's in is a 6" clear plastic. I feed it with orchid food
every time I water.

What should I do when the blooms fade? Should I cut the flower spikes
down, repot or leave well enough alone?

I wanted to get another orchid so that I'd have something in bloom all
year long but I haven't seen anything that looks healthy. Is this a
bad time of the year?

Thanks
