Do you know what genus of Brome this is? If I understand what you're describing correctly, this cone that produced the flowers is part of the inflorescence and will die back normally after the plant blooms. With most, the plant will then put out "pups" or new growth from the base, either on long stolons or directly, and the main plant will then often back. I think what you are seeing is normal. This scenario varies somewhat with different genera of bromes. Look to see if any new growth is coming from either the base or out of the axils of one or more of the lower leaves.

I do like to grow them epiphytically on the background or a high branch where they receive better drainage and are closer to the light, but if your substrate is well drained and not overly wet, and there's no sign of basal rotting, I don't think it's necessary to move it.
