I am reluctant to advise new hobbyist to re-pot anything too quickly. A good grower (and most are very competent) will not sell a plant unless it can go a year or more in the medium in which it is planted. We realize most people want to buy a plant to enjoy not a project in the making.

The Phal sounds OK. Air roots are very common. Keep in mind that they were watered regularly in a greenhouse where those air roots were sprayed with the automatic watering systems. In your home you will be reluctant to spray water over your furniture. I would water in a sink and get those air roots wet. you will see them darken and turn green when absorbing water.

The Den is in shock from moving. It is also winter and they lose leaves before the spring growing season.

Both sound like most of mine look just now.
