Is there something wrong with my Phal?

[MissJulie]

I got a beautiful Phal for mothers day, and it is my very first Orchid ever. I want to make sure that I am taking the best care of it that I can. I have been reading what I need to know on the "Orchid Basics" and it seems as though the color on the leaves of my plants isn't best, but I am not sure exactly whats wrong with it, so I figured I would get on here and post some pictures and see if anyone has any feedback.

The picture of the leaf with the dark spot and yellow around it:
I am just trying to figure out if this is the beginning of black rot, and if it is what I can do to take care of it.

The picture with the grayish, silvery spots:
This is from the bottom of the largest leaf, it isn't on any other leafs. What does this seem like and what can I do to help this?

The picture with the shriveled up grayish finger things (I really have no idea what they are :
I'm not sure what they are, at all, but I am uncertain what to do with them. They are not aesthetically pleasing AT ALL, and if they are unnecessary I would rather them just not be there, any suggestions?

And last but not least, the picture of the pot:
I just want to make sure that this is a sufficient pot for the plant. It came with moss as it's media and it also has moss on the top right under the leaves, should that be removed to help prevent root rot?

I added the picture of the flowers just so you can make sure that it looks like it's supposed too. Like I said, I am a SUPER beginner, I don't have plants that I don't usually accidentally kill, but this one is special and I want to make sure that's not the end result for this pretty little thing!

That looks like bacterial brown spot caused by Acidovorax (syn. Pseudomonas), try pouring hydrogen peroxide on the yellow spot. If it keeps enlarging, take a sterile single edge razor blade and cut off the leaf about an inch below the discoloration. It looks like other leaves may have suffered a similar fate cause the leaves have been cut off. You can also spray with physan...and once the bloom is finished with a copper compound like Kocide following the label instructions.

The third picture shows some new orchid roots, they are vital to the plant so you should not cut them. The pot size is sufficient for now. When it is done blooming you should repot...and if the plant has been in bloom for 3 months, perhaps you should cut the flower spike at the base of the plant and put it in a vase to enjoy for another week so your phal can be repotted by the end of June.

The third picture shows some new acclaim roots, they are basic to the bulb so you should not cut them. The pot admeasurement is acceptable for now. When it is done blooming you should repot...and if the bulb has been in bloom for 3 months, conceivably you should cut the annual fasten at the abject of the bulb and put it in a vase to adore for addition week.

A very pretty Phal. I think the pot size looks sufficient from the picture. I personally would remove the dried floral moss they placed on the surface, unless you really like the look of it. Looks like you are doing a good job not overwatering the sphagnum moss and if most/all of those leaf discolorations are on the lowest leaves, yes it could be a bacterial infection for sure, but Phal lower leaves do go yellow and die after a time, especially when they're putting energy into creating new roots or foliage. I always take any newly acquired orchid out of the pot to check on the root condition. Clear pots are nice, but the don't tell the whole story. In all, it looks like a nice plant and the advice of cutting back the damaged/diseased leaves sounds good. Keep an eye out to see if it continues to spread, and in the meantime, enjoy your plant

Sorry to hear about the trouble your having with your Phallie. I can't ID the problem with your leaves but if you do need to cut any be sure to coat the cut with cinnamon as this is a natural fungicide and will help prevent fungal infection Other than that make sure your sphag potting material isn't staying to wet for it Good luck

Phals are low light orchids they can tolerate sun until 10 am, but protection from the sun after 10 is necessary. Lime green colored foliage is an indication of improper light and yellow colored foliage indicates too much light. Phals like to be damp year around, but not soppy wet. The foliage must stay dry or you invite possible rot problems. Phals are heavy feeders particularly when in full growth. Fertilize them every seven days with several clear watering in between. This will make your phals plant very happy.
