I also agree with the others. And when it blooms again you will probably have a beautiful white phal in all it's natural wonder.

So for the moment I am not going to worry about the apparent rot spots. I didn't know about the dye.
Lots of bad or unnecessary advice on the referenced website. Refer instead to the "Phal Abuse" thread referenced by Roberta.
