Hello there, first of all, your plant is beautiful 🤩 , and can you add a picture of the black bugs ? Are those fungus gnats ? Do they look like this ?

I would bet Gnats too. Mine had a bunch- I used sticky traps for mine/ here’s a link so you can see what they look like. https://a.co/d/0dV5FNTP

hi! i would recommend switching to orchid bark it’s less likely to grow a bug infestation i would say repot the orchid somewhere it has drainage holes and spray anything infected with hyrdrogen peroxide and wipe down leaves with it aswell but don’t overdo it, once repotted put a light layer of cinnamon it repels fungus gnats BTW your orchid will grow back white instead of blue💕
