Problem with Blooming Phal

I have a phal that has two spikes. One spike is really loaded with flowers and the other is smaller with less flowers but most are all open now. I noticed the other day when I was watering that now all the leaves are wilted and draped over the sides of the pot. The other phals that are blooming look fine but this one is not looking so good. The roots seem fine. It does have considerably more aerial roots than ones in the pot. The aerials have dried and shriveled. Is this plant not getting enough water? Is it just too overtaxed from blooming? Its potted in a clay pot, medium bark with some sphag mixed in as all my phals are.
I'm a little puzzled. What should I do for this plant?
