I am new to this forum, and still kinda new to the orchid thing too. We recieved a phal almost a year ago from friends who moved. It was in bad shape, but we took it in and re-potted it. It has done very well, new leaf growth, roots, and now a flower spike.

About 2 weeks ago I noticed that several of the aerial roots have sections on them that are turning a brown/rust color, and are shriveled in appereance. The rest of the root looks healthy. What could be the reason for this, and how might I fix it. I don't want to loose the roots that it has worked so hard to grow!

Any insight would be appreciated.

Thanks!
