Large holes in pseudobulb
Hello, this is my first time posting and very new to growing orchids and really plants in general. This one I've had for about 1 1/2 years and not sure what kind it is. I went by the "one ice cube a week" rule of thumb and almost killed it. I researched and found out that rule isn't the greatest and learned some basic orchid care tips. I re-potted it, and started watering and fertilizing regularly and it got better. I was not sure if I should cut off the old spikes? Anway, I decided to put it in the wooden hanging planter outside and new growth quickly started but now there are some holes in a pseudobulb and a couple of leaves with holes. I brought it back inside and put cinnamon paste in the holes. I'm not sure if it's bugs, fungus or virus. I tried a castile soap recipe from online and also physan 20 but seems to be worsening and there are some small dimples starting on other leaves. I would hate to lose it since it was my first orchid. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
