So I've taken a closer look just now. What would symptoms of rot look like? I can't see anything to indicate it's rotting. Here are some pictures..Attachment 113088Attachment 113089Attachment 113090Attachment 113091

I don't see anything rotting that I can tell. It it still pooling large amounts of fluid? I'd like to see a picture of that if it is.

Due to the fluid build-up this is the area that would be of concern to me. It is possible you have a case of crown rot (of some sort) starting.

As Camille said, pour peroxide in the crown. It won't hurt if the tissue there is healthy and just might nip whatever is going on there in the bud.

Maybe you can position the plant so the fluid drains out. It may help prevent damage, at least it will keep the crown drier.

I think that in the pictures you posted, you would not see the rot there. The rot would show in the center where the fluid is pooling. Dry that out good and look very closely in there and see if there is any browning on leaf edges deep down inside. Also as above, some peroxide as a deterrent may help

Thanks everyone you have all been so helpful. I dry the fluid out daily and keep looking for a signs of rot in the crown but it looks clear to me. Here's another picture of the fluid that I took last night. I will dump some hydrogen peroxide in there to see if it helps.

In this one it does look as if it is rotting inside. I think I would try sprinkling some cinnamon in there. I had one phal that was starting crown rot and I saved it by using cinnamon.
