Thank you both. Spider mites are probably the cause and yet the plant was very far from the other orchids where I did see some webs on one plant and sprayed it right away.
On the rest period of the Nobile: the plant may have had its rest period before I got it bare root and I figured it was time to wake it up (late February in Florida).
I should start a new thread on this but wonder what will happen to those small shoots on the healthy plant in the rest period. I'm assuming all the leaves will fall off but will the shoots themselves dry up? Do growers purposefully omit the rest period for small plants just to get them to grow bigger in a shorter time?
