What kind of orchid is this? If it’s stanhopia, then the flowers are supposed to burrow down through the medium and come out the bottom of the basket and then bloom.
My guess would be that it needs emergency repotting into a wooden slatted basket with a 50/50 mix of fine grade bark and sphagnum moss. But it will take some time and patience and gentle care.
