What could it be with my phals?

[priz_m]

Hello Maya, welcome to the OB!

I don't believe there is anything wrong with phal #2, as for #1, is there soft mushy tissue around the spot? is it growing? if you answer yes to any of these questions, go ahead and cut it out, if not, i would let it be, it could probably be some kind of sunburn.

Hope this helps.

Good point about the sunburn...also if the spot is wet or foul smelling cut it out NOW!

thank you for your support.

pic 1 - well it doesn't grow, it is not mashy, either it smells, but it became darker...and if before it had brownish color then now it is something like dark grey... so I suppose I should cut it out, shouldn't I?

pic 2 - I would think that it is a pinprick scar... I am a beginner and I do not understand those things well, but the thing is that when I got that plant, I didn't like the bark it was in, it had somekind of whitish thing on it... there were no insects as I checked carefully, but I still decided to change the bark. As I was cleaning the plant, I have noticed some white spots on a plant "neck" (place between leaves and roots), I could not wash them off... so I thought may be there were eggs of some insects... if it is so then the leaf appearance with pinprick scar seem to be logical...

I have a treatment for insect killing, but I have no idea where should I place plant after treatment... I live in a flat, so I keep many phals in the kitchen...

any opinions? what and how should I do?
