Just an update: i drenched the phal after I removed it from the pot. i think it was contaminated media. i sprayed it all over with insecticidal soap (I had not yet read the thread about alcohol

) and have separated it from the rest. so far, the infected area has dried up, but has not spread. Like Tim's, I can still see the cellular damage

. So far, the plant seems fine now. Thanks for all of your advice, guys! I appreciate it.
