Yes, a photo would help. Please post it in this thread.

Phals are tough orchids when they are grown warm, wet and well lighted. I have several and they are definitely the bullies of the collection. Only when in bloom do I cut them any slack. You sound a little like you are afraid of yours, don't be, they sense it and will cause you no end of misery as they will then start to act out like the thugs they are. Sounds like your phal has a spot of damage on one of its leaves. Who knows why. Why do we get pimples or boils? $#*! happens, don't overreact to it. How long have you had the phal? Does it grow? What is the size of the spot relative to the leaf? Has it grown? Water on leaves is technically not harmful except in the crown of the plant. In ideal conditions one can get the dust off the leaves quite easily by washing off the entire plant early in the day or by dusting it same as you would dust any other objet d'art in your home. Get the water out of the crown with the corner of a paper towel. Good luck. H

Hi again, Thanks all, for your input. I just wanted to come back and say I did cut down the Dr. Hueys. I basically pruned the rosebush as far to the ground as I could get. (It was really bushy, so it was hard to see!) Once I got the "bushiness" ut away, i was surprised to find that something has been digging at my rosebush. I can see the root ball. When I planted this rosebush (some 5 years ago ro thereabouts) I definitely planted it so the root ball was a good 10 inches below the surface. But now, I can see that something has been digging away at the base of my rosebush, and the root ball is, indeed, exposed. So you all were right on that pont! So now I ask you wise rosebush-caretakers, what do I do? There's still one very strong cane of the Billy's left (I can tell it's the Billy because the cane is woody and very thick - the Hueys were slim and bendy. Even the leaves were different.) so I left it intact. It's got a lot of green on it, and it's very strong, so I hesitate to cut it off, as it's the only cane remaining on the rosebush. However there are no buds on it (I think I see the *beginnings* of a couple of them, but I'm not 100% sure if they are buds or more leaves.) How would you all recommend I proceed? It's obviously still a healthy plant, and I'm 100% sure the "Billy" part of is is not dead (yet). But I don't want to dig it up unnecessarily (especially when, I believe next year, I will HAVE to dig it up, as we are putting in a deck exactly where it is now). The plant is only as high as my knees - would it be a good idea to dig it up and put it in a large container to overwinter inside? (and if I do, should I be sure to scrape off the Dr. Huey's completely, as previously recommended?) If I do that, do you think it would also be good to do it to the rosebush next to it? (The purple ones that the June bugs and caterpillars just adore?) perhaps putting them both in large, separate containers will help alleviate the issues they are having *now* so when I replant them after the deck is done, they'll grow stronger? Any advice you all can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I have the Hanover and it doesn't do that. Is the hose caught on something in the cabinet? Or did your plumber maybe snake the plumbing somehow where it is not allowing free movement? Could you take a pic inside the cab?
