Onc Sharry Baby with brown spots on leaves?

[iamppdoc]

I have had this plant for several years and recently noted brown spots developing on the leaves, mainly toward the ends. The plant looks healthy in all other respects and I can find no evidence of critters. Any thoughts?
Thanks, Ed

Brown spots are normal for this type of oncidium

Mine are the same way and it's a prolific bloomer. I've never seen one without "spots" As long as the bulbs are full and roots healthy, it's fine. Would be interesting to see these in the wild to compare.

Very normal. I consider them freckles

I agree, very normal. Mine doesn't have them, but I have other oncidiums that do.

Yup, always the decor too of my Onc leaves...never ending spots.

Me too. Some have spots and others are pristine. I can't say why. I even tested my worst one for virus and it was negative.

Another post for spots being normal. I will say that the pseudobulbs that grew on my Sharry Baby outside during the summer had almost no spots, while the ones that develop indoors in the winter are covered in spots and look horrible.

I often find the same. Seems it should be the other way around. I guess nature does a better job than we do.

I get the spots too whether grown indoors or outdoors.
