i read somewhere, prolly here that you can tell if the spots are burn or not by pushin' em between your fingers and if they have like bumps that's burn, and if they have mush then its rot spot. Make sure you disinfect the poor girl so she don't get black spot or any of the common rots they get. I think i'm gonna lose my three year old purple phal to no doin that myself. Goodluck on your baby
