| Phalaenopsis accepts to be re potted anytime, so this is not the cause of the problem. Your plant shows signs of dehydration which appears when the plant is under watered, or when over watering kills the root system.
If you suspect that the second situation is the case, checking the roots is the first step to do. If you find dead roots (soft, hollow, wiry) but some healthy, firm roots too, than it's OK. By cutting off all the bad, re-potting and watering correctly the plant can be saved easily.
If the root system is completely destroyed, the last hope is the sphag&bag method.
Dendrobium can be re potted when has new growth and new roots appear.
