Weird color on the stem

[johnny31623]

Hey everyone

I just got this phal. Amabilis
But there’s two weird purple bang rhizome on the stem
I asked the nursery owner he said it’s nothing to worry about.
I just want to double check with some experts here seeing if it’s something deadly such as fusarium etc, I know the purple ring is for cattleya only so i'm just wondering what's that and try not to be panic.
Roots and leaves look fairly healthy but I don’t know if phal. amabilis will have this kind of color(pigmentation) since it's white flower.

It looks fine. I might consider repotting now that it's starting to warm up. If you peeled off any leaves, stop doing that.

Take a look at a sticky thread in the Beginners forum. Click on Forums in the yellow left menu, then Beginners. Near the top is The Phal abuse ends here.

thank you

I didn't peel off or butcher anything.
I separated it from its rotten mother plant, removed all the barks, trimmed all the dead roots and treated with physan 20; letting it stays bareroot for couple days and I'll repot it.
