Hi there OB,

Here is an updated picture of my phal spike, i've noticed the leaves at the bottom of the plant have changed colour over time from green to purple, i've read pink flowered orchids tend to do this, is it true?

The spike is looking good.

All the leaves I can see in the pic look normal to me. Do you mean the purple colour at the center? If so that is perfectly normal, I also get similar colouration on the underside of some of the leaves.
