Problem with Blooming Phal

[SashaBear]

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?

Try to maintain high humidity for the aerial roots. Place the pot with its saucer on a tray filled with pebles and water. I spray daily my Phalaenopsis plants, being aware not to leave any water in the crown. Daily mist of aerial roots is a must. At least for me

Are you really soaking the bark every time you water? Can't be dainty about this. Take the plants to the sink and flood the pots when you water. You can always dump a cup of fertilizer solution into the pot after you are finish with the drenching. Use some seran wrap draped loosely over the plant. If the leaves don't perk up in a week or two, you may have a problem. You not only need to solve the problem, but you may have to remove the spikes, but give your efforts a chance first before giving up on flowers. Checking the condition of the roots in the pot is a good idea, tho a bit difficult in a clay pot.
