    Default What's wrong with this Phal??

    It has been blooming for the last 4 months or so but it has these spots on its leaves:




    Does anyone know what is wrong with this plant? It has had the same spots since it was given to me about a year ago. Is there anything i should do for it?

    Thanks!

    Sun burn on the phal orchid's leaves. There is not anything you can do for it. Eventually that leaf will die off after being replaced with a new one from the top of the plant.

    Cheers,

    Wow! Do I see three spikes on that little phal? And you wonder if it's OK? Goodness!! What a pretty little plant - OK, except for the one leaf.
