Phal spots

[Zoey]

I am having increased frequency of spots/depressed areas on my phal. leaves. They start out with bleached-out color and eventually turn yellow. I grow under lights but not all the plants are affected. Could this be from bad water? Tap water comes from a softener but I changedto bottled water quite a while ago. Have dusted spots with cinnamon which dries them up to a point. Roots are super good. Some plants have rebloomed but the foilage is so ugly. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks, Zoey

It could be a fungus or even more likely a bacterial infection. If you have physan 20 I would spray both sides of the leaves with that. It's affective against both bacteria and fungus. You may want to move the affected plants away from the healthy ones. Good luck.

I would get them away from other plants. There has been something going around in Phals that spreads quickly which sounds similar.
