Paph "Angel Hair" Leaf Mottling
I have a baby paph "Angel Hair" (St. Swithin x Sanderianum). It seems to like warm temperatures and low light and I'm trying to give it that. It is indoors (I'm in Canada - it's -11C outside) and I keep the room in the low to mid 20s. It is not in direct natural light and I don't have proper grow lights, but I am keeping the room light (a single LED bulb in the middle of the ceiling) on all day to provide some light for this and for my phals and other orchids.
I am getting worried because one of its leaves is noticeably getting mottled, and it only has 3 leaves. I water it regularly but the pot you see in the picture is only 1.5" across so it doesn't hold much moisture.
What do you think? Mottling bad or normal? If bad, what would you suggest? Less light? Higher temps?
