Orchids

Does my orchid look OK?


I’ve had this orchid for about a year now. I just noticed a new leaf and new roots (?) about a month ago. I repotted her last week in a bigger pot but it’s so wobbly at the top and tips over almost completely so I am leaning her on a stake. Did I repot correctly? The mix seems very compact in the rest of the pot so I’m not sure what’s going on with the top.

I’m also curious if the things I’ve circled in the pictures are all new roots. One of them is super thin and skinny/whiteish – what is that?? Do I need to make extra space for the roots to grow or do they look okay? I’m concerned that some of the roots are cracking a bit and black in color.

How long does it typically take after the new leaf/roots are first observed until a new spike forms? Anything else I should know/do about my orchid? It’s my first one so still an orchid newbie! Thank you so much in advance!
