Dendrobium bellatulum brown leaf

[tree1]

I have a young Dendrobium bellatulum as show, as you can see the tip of the leaf has turned brown and limp. It started right at the tip and has worked down.

You can see it has some much smaller leaves, they are prospering and have grown since I bought the plant.

I keep it in good daylight, bearing in mind we've had some very nice days the last week I'd say bright sunlight. I'm trying to maintain roughly 55 - 65% humidity. Temperatures have been around 75 - 78 Fahrenheit. I haven't been over watering the plant... but I might have been under watering it!

Any tips much appreciated.

(added question... would you feed a plant this young every time you water it?)

I am by no means an expert, however with the other leaves looking so good, I would assume that this other leaf may be going through a natural process. I fertilize my little orchid ssedlings, babies, etc.

Not sure, could be sunburn. But in my limited experience when something like this happens on such a small seedling it usually is a downhill losing battle. On a larger plant you have more healthy growths that you can separate.

I would cut off the damaged part of that seedling anyway and hope for the best.

I tried to look to the photo to see the other leaves. they are not in focus but they seem ok. I would cut the damaged part WITH a bit of the healthy part. better safe than sorry.
