What should I do?

I posted the question in Introduction board, but maybe here is a better place.

I am in Michigan. I have a white moth orchid, which gets problem. I reportted twice recently. (Sorry for doing that.) It had 12 flowers, now 6 left. 3 buds turned yellow and dropped without blooming. I've lost 2 leafs.

Anyway, after the 2nd repotting,a lot of roots turn soft and bad. After reading a lot recently, I thought maybe I over-watered.

Question is:
Should I cut the flower stem now? There are still a few nice flowers. The stem seems to be strong.

Should I try to plant it in the clay balls? The roots are indeed not in good shape. I dare not watering for more than a week till now.

Sorry for asking so many questions. Any suggestion is highly appreciated
