Sorry, I don’t see anything terribly wrong.

 

[IvoPhal]

Thank you, for the kind words, the leading leaf is broken and the leaf below, I never experienced such a damage. Do I need smth to do? Cinamon or ..?

 

[Ozpaph]

looks traumatic, not 'infected'.

 

[IvoPhal]

Thank you!

You don't NEED to do anything. You can cut them off at the break if it really bothers you, but they'll callous over and be fine. It is a weak point so watch for infection, but personally I'd only remove any portion that's dangling and just accept the unattractive

 

[IvoPhal]

Thank you Cody, nice point - touché. I will watch closely for some indication for infection at the top of the plant.

I had something similar happen to one of my phals this year when a picture fell off the wall and bonked it. If the cuts are fresh you can protect it with cinnamon. It's probably okay though. My plant is fine a few months in, though might be skipping blooming this year.

Thank you Morja, unfortunately I skipped this step, time will tell in future I’ll treat the wounds with cinnamon.

I don't know if I actually did it either It's fine!

I would put Dragon's Blood on that edge.

I’ve broken and cracked a lot of orchid leaves. If the leaf is healthy, it will heal up. Yours look fine. However, that mix looks dark and “turnt,” like it’s going bad, maybe repot?

 

[IvoPhal]

Merry Christmas!
Yes, indeed the mix probably older, I did not repotted since I bought it a few months ago. I wait until spring time, the weather here is look like Chicago cold but dry. The sun shining from 8 to 5. Thank you for your comment!
