Why does my orchid look like this? (After pruning)

I cut my orchid spike down to the base a few days ago. It is a phalaenopsis. The leaves are very droopy now. When it had flowers, they were a little droopy, but not as much. I checked the roots, and they look nice and green. Any ideas? I live in Southern CA, so it is very dry and hot right now. I mist it daily, water frequently, and always check roots. I keep it outside, in a shaded corner of my patio that gets no direct sunlight.
