curled oncidium leaves

[Marlena]

I have an apparently healthy, blooming - 2 spikes - oncidium, divided last year. No critters on it, was out all summer on north porch where it had bright light all day and about 3 hours of late afternoon sun. Brought it in to appreciate the flowers. In an east window, misted in the am, watered appropriately. Temp in house is about 77 on a hot day, down to whatever at night, depending on outside temp.

Only on the sections that are blooming the leaves are curled the long way, so they almost form a long tube. None of the other divides have this, but they aren't blooming. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks.

Have you inspected the inside of the curled leaves? This can be a sign of insect infestation--scale especially.

No bugs or evidence of bugs. Otherwise, leaves look fine.

You need more humidity in the environment

Ah, I will see to it. I noticed today ,after I stpped up the misting, that they look better and softer. Now, to humidity trays. Appreciate the help.
