Phalaenopsis with brown indented spots on leave

[sarcasticat]

Hello!

I'm a complete beginner with orchids and I was gifted my first, a blooming magenta Phalaenopsis, quite a few months back. It already dropped its flowers a while ago, but before I cut the spike, I noticed a small brown indent on one of the newer leaves. I didn't really think anything of it, but there are now two and possibly another developing. Here is a picture of said leaf:

As for watering, I typically soak the pot in water once every month or so and mist the leave twice a day. The plant sits in a light area without direct sunlight.

Can anyone help me with this? I'm not sure if this is a serious issue or not and I couldn't find anything online that matched these symptoms exactly.

Thank you so much!!!

Hi Jackie,

You have to write 5 posts before you can post photos yourself. One way to do that quickly is to go to other threads and reply to other people's photos of their orchids with something like FANTASTIC! just four more times.

And the way to post photos is given here

Tips for posting Photos

My first guess would be watering once a month is not enough. What part of the country do you live in? What kind of light is the plant getting? What kind of humidity in the growing area?

Sounds like it could be a bacterial infection though it would be good to see the photo

You actually have posted this twice. Stop misting your phal leaves. That is most likely your problem.
