Most people like to give phals a big trim, and cut a lot of the roots, so the plant will gorw more.
I dont not do this though! What ever is healthy stays and whatever is rotten gets cut

a photo will tell the story about how much roots to cut of, if done it the warm weather and the plant is healthy. I like to cut all the older roots off, that is usually roots older then 18 months or so.
all the dead and damaged roots, I just bought 4 big Phal. amabilis plants in 6 inch pots, after pruning the the roots I put them back into 4 1/2 inch pots I regulary use.
This is in the middle of an aussie winter but they sit on a hot bed.
New roots are already growing after 5 weeks.
this is how they should react after repotting.
Best of luck
