Did you just break the flower spike? Any vegetative damage? Did the roots come out of the media? There is nothing to be done. If there are active buds on the spike, they may still bloom- just keep caring for it as you did before. If there are no more active buds, it was only a matter of time you would have lost your blooms and been at this stage anyway.

I am seeing some texture on your leaves that make me think it could use a little more hydration. If the roots are healthy, it just means you need to water more.
