My jewel orchid is turning red at the top leaves rather than the bottom and I think there's a number of reasons why, she's pushing our 3 pups, the light on my northeast window is getting much more brighter, and some of her roots have gone woody. Would it be safe to cut her and put her in a prop box? It looks like her root nodes under the pot are exhausted

Possibly too much light and soggy roots?
