Black leaf on dendrobium

[scy]

I have a small cane that broke off a larger Dendrobium Hollywood a while back. I managed to save it through bag and sphag. I was trying to get it to transition to less humidity to avoid having to take it out of the medium and clean the fuzzy white mold off. While leaving it uncovered a few hours each day worked to control the mold, I noticed there is a new problem now. The newest leaf turned black on the edges, rest of the leaf is darker than the others, and the cane looks shriveled.

Should I remove the whole leaf? What do I do to save it? I have before pictures so you have something to compare against in this thread: http://www.orchidboard.com/community...-growth-2.html

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

It's not much of a concern right now. When the leaf dies, I'd peel it off.

I don't have to worry about rot, do I? My guess as to how it happened was that it was moist / wet from the increased humidity, so when I opened up the lid for a few hours, the cooler air did not allow it to dry out; hence leading to rot.

Is there anything I can do to keep it from happening to the other leaves? What about the cane looking less plump?

I don't think there's any issue with the other leaves potentially getting infected.

I don't think there's gonna be an issue with rot either.

I'd probably not cover it up though. Just leave it like how it is in the pic. Lid open.

As for getting it to plump up again, that depends on whether the plant decides to root and if the roots survive.
