What about the bugs? Do you see the red eggs under the black and right above the new root? And how do I tell if its a bacteria or a fungus?

Bugs I will swing with spider mites then.
I am not sure exactly how to kill off a already thriving fungus. I will leave that to the senior experts..
I just know that you will need to cut away all of the dead roots. Then dash with cinnamon along what you cut. It works as a seal to keep out anymore infections.
You will for sure need new potting medium and a new pot, I use terra cotta pots and use a masonry drill bit now to make the holes. The pot will need to be just big enough to fit the plant roots in with a good potting medium. I use better gro for phals. You may get better recommendations. I am sure you will get more help on here everyone is extremely helpful on here.
I use bayer 3 in 1 insect, mite and disease control on mine when I do see a problem arise and it helps with spider mites really well. I battle them every year when I bring all of my tropicals in.

Well, I do have a bag if potting medium. I am afraid to see the roots! It looks like its localized to that spot, but I guess I'll find out.
