I grow indoors, always get blooms. I give 12 hours of artificial light in winter, full sun in summer. I use GE Grow LED Light Bulb, PAR38 Flood Light about 2 feet away, like 2-3 of them.

Hi there. So, is the 'rot' part wet and mushy? Some orchids will have black spots, but if it is hard and does not give way, it might not be a problem. One thing you can do, if you think it is rot, is...
