Small black pitted spots on Phalaenopsis leaves

[Just Rosie]

Hey guys.

This poor guy is having a rough time. Recently I was dealing with an illness and all of my plants were pretty severely neglected for 2-3 months.

Unfortunately, many of them have succumb to illness or pests themselves.

I had upwards of 20 phals, and due to their crowded habitat, I have been pretty much instantly culling any orchids l see with signs of illness.

However this is a favorite of mine due to its beautifully spotted leaves that I haven’t seen frequently on my hardware store variety of phals. I would really prefer to treat it vs. culling it if it has some sort of infection.

I’m hoping maybe these tiny, wet black spots might be edema or something similar? My understanding is edema presents on the leaves more like “bumps” than “holes”

I tried googling every description I could think of to see if I could identify the disease, but nothing really matches.

I recently repotted him from straight long fiber sphagnum to a mix of long fiber sphag and some small/medium orchid bark.

I appreciate any advice!
