It still has a flower on it but its begining to go brown.The pot is too small I think and the outer pot is broken.
When is it a good time to repot an orchid?
Typically you will see roots trying to climb out of the pot, or the pseudo bulbs will be very compacted or for dendrobiums Kekis start poppin up. Or when you press down on the bark/moss mix it doesnt compress at all...or when your pot breaks.
Take a moment to look a the roots and see if any look black and are smelly...if so then using a sterile sharp knife remove these and repot. I am sure the American orchid society can give much more detailed advice and there are many many local chapters that meet regularly and hold work shops etc...

Most all others, repot when new root activity is just beginning.
