There is no such thing as over-crowding a Phalaenopsis. They are epiphytes, so not normally in bark, sphagnum moss,.. Repot when the medium is breaking down or when the plant starts to fail. But keep an eye on the roots (that's why clear plastic pots are great). The roots will fail long before you see anything on the top.
