Question Phal: Tiny hollow black spots on leaves

Does anyone know if I need to be concerned about these? I have 3 or 4 tiny black spots on the underside of one of my Phal leaves. They are hollow looking from underneath, flat from the top.

I’ve had this one for about 2 years, it still has a healthy spike that I cut down below the last bloom and a new leaf is growing from the centre top, so I think it’s pretty healthy…although the leaves are looking a bit dark so I’m moving it to a lighter room…should I keep it separate from my other orchids because of these spots?

PS. How the roots looking to you? They look healthy and green inside the pot, but I’m not too sure about the ones on the top. Time to repot? This is the only one that didn’t bloom this year out of 3.

Relax, there is nothing to worry about. Those black dots are mechanical damage and the wounds healed well. The roots are fine. Some old ones dry up and shrivel but I see new robust roots growing. It has the right shade of green for the leaves= you are giving it correct light no need to move it.Your plant is happy and healthy.

Yeah, something just poked into the leaf and that's how it looks when it heals, nothing to worry about.

Feeling so paranoid lately after a couple of other disasters...but better to be safe than sorry!
