Winter Care

Hi,
I have two phals. They are both growing new leaves and have some bumps that have been identified as new roots in a previous thread. Any growth now seems to have stopped.

I live in Glasgow, Scotland and there is now little sun getting into my flat. I have moved them closer to windows so they get as much light as possible. I also now have the gas central heating on which is quite dry. I have dishes of water near the plants to help increase humidity.

Is there anyting I can do to help them grow or adapt to the new temperature and light levels?

Another problem is that one of the phals now has a damaged leaf (the new, growing leaf). I can only describe it as a half moon shaped hole at the seam about 2 cm up from the crown. It looks like someone has nipped it with their thumb nail (this hasn't happened). What could it be? I have moved it from the room where this happened. I have taken photos but it doesn't show up well so haven't bothered to post a photo.
