Cell collapse on Paph Maudiae?
Hello friends,
I recently moved to a new apartment with southeastern exposure windows. Previously it was northeastern, so a few hours of direct sun in the early morning.
So far, all of my plants, including the windowsill orchids, are happy & drinking up the sun.
This brings me to my concern:
I was just washing plant leaves (just some water and a touch of soap, since it is dusty with all the moving) and noticed some pitting on the leaves on my Paph Maudiae.
I wonder if the more intense light was too quick of a transition? I checked the plant over and I can see no mites or other pests. I can unpot if I will need to. No other orchid has this issue, but I have isolated just in case.
So, I did a quick search and have found the possibility of cell collapse causing the pitting due to higher light. The newest leaf is unaffected. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance for your input.
