theres nothing much wrong with this orchid other then phials need to grow in sphagnum peat moss not wood bark try re-potting it to a good quality if you can get 4 star rated moss thats the best it last for years the reason the roots look all brown is because of dehydration wood chips don't hold enough water for phials they like to be damp all the time. when you repot it just take a vary clean knife and cut off all the brown dead roots not the green one! also if you try turning the plant ones a week it wont grow all lopsided toards the light like yours is doing however this type of growth pattern is permissible in competitions
