Default Poorly Phal

An update on my phal

Having amputated the rotting leaves, after a bit of a sulk it
has now put on a spurt of growth, with a new flower branch on
the old stem, and intriguingly some change to the couple of
aerial roots. These seem to have made a "pinch" at the end then
started to turn green above. Not sure what is happening, but
will watch with interest.

Hi,

Over the last couple of weeks one of my phal orchids has gone
off.

The latest leaf has become brown and soft in the middle and
seems to be spreading quickly. So far the other leaves seem OK,
but a close look shows that one may be about to go the same
way.

Apart from throwing it away, is there anything I can do?

Hopefully, this is the link to a pictu

Sorry, but I can not work out how to put in a "proper" link.
