If it is snail or slug damage, here is an article that suggests methods of
fighting these critters:

Welcome aboard, Palantir.

I suspect that is slug or snail damage, and yes, that keiki can be
repotted at any time.

You might want to consider this: bend the flower spike over so you can
pot up the keiki without detaching it. Once it gets established in the
pot, you can snip the spike and the keiki will be independent with little,
if any stress.

Hello,
My nickname is Palantir, and I am typing from northern Italy. I am
following
this group from a few months, but this is my first post.

My tiny collection is made up by four phalaenopsis plants, all of which
are
blooming right now, and seem doing well, even if I have quite bad
humidity
conditions (often it drops below 20%, despite the humidifier, now with
the
end of the winter it's getting better -- I have 40% now!

There is only one single leaf which does not seem to be quite healthy:
could
you please check this picture, and tell me what do you think about this?
Is
something eating up the leaf? Is it a problem?

The second question: is thie keiki on pic 2 ready to be repotted? I
suppose
I have to wait until it stops blooming, am I right?

Thanks for any advice,
Palantir
