I just brought home a Phal from a friends house whom didn't water it the floweres on it had dried and one stalk was brown another had a green stalk and the flowers fell off it as i brought it home. Can it be saved, and if so how.  
Thank you for your help. Luv to get it back to health

Answer
Danine, it is normal for a flower spike to die back after it has finished flowering.  If the flower spike turns brown and dies all the way back, you can just cut it off.  Cut off the green spike just above a node (ie joint) in the flower spike. If the latter still turns brown just cut it off as you did the first flower spike.

The point of greatest concern is not what you can see, but what you can't see.  Obtain a bag of orchid potting mix and soak it thoroughly while unpotting your plant.  Rinse off the roots and remove any roots that are mushy.  Healthy roots are firm and turn green when wet.  Be sure you repot to a plastic pot with lots of air/drainage holes in the base.  If you have lost many roots to rot (ie mushy roots you removed), you may be able to repot to the same pot or amaller.  Otherwise, with lots of healthy roots, you may need to repot to a pot that is about one inch larger in diameter.

Phals should be repotted annually after each flowering.  Be sure  to use standard orchid potting mix that has fir bark as one of its main ingredients.
