I think what your bical is experiecing is rust spot fungus. I had this problem as well untill I change some things...

Grow it is a more airy media like 80% coconut chips mixed with some s. moss or coconut peat. Line the top of the media with s. moss to help retain moisture in the media. The coconut chips I use is about 1/2 inch to 1 inch cubes. If you do not place the s. moss on top the media will dry out very fast and the plant will wilt.

If possible place it in a location that received lots of sunlight but shaded from the rain.

They seem to love it like that and will grow large quite fast. On top of that I realise the pink spots do not come back on the new leaves. I know another member on this forum who has the same positive results after he change the media etc.

Try it and see.
