I would not cut it off. Do the blemishes bother you or is there something else wrong with the plant?
2 J'aimeIt looks quite odd and feels odd too
1 j'aimeThere is small brown spot appearing under the leaf
1 j'aimeSame it looks perfectly happy, orchids will drop their bad dying leaves to avoidant ruining the rest of the plant
2 J'aimeOk. I won't cut it off. But it looks strange
1 j'aimeContinue to monitor it to make sure nothing else is going on. Inspect the leaves top and bottom to make sure you don’t have any invaders. My orchids are notorious for attracting Mealy bugs.
2 J'aimeOk I will thanks. Everyone
1 j'aimeIt looks a little brown spot under the leaf though
1 j'aimeCheck for pests for sure. Also your media looks super wet; check for root rot.
3 J'aimeI had only just watered it.
2 J'aimeThose air roots you can cut off. Your soil looks very saturated. Do you have drainage? I would put in orchid mixture. I water and let it sit for 15 mins then I drain.

1 j'aimeI would replace the soil with a chunky orchid bark mixture, as suggested. Orchids can suffocate in a standard potting mix because they are tree climbers and their roots like to be well aerated. Replace the soil. Check for rot. Disinfect with hydrogen peroxide. Use a new orchid pot which typically has lots of openings on the sides and bottom. 🪴🍀
