Default Brown discolouration on Cymbidium

Any ideas what this could be/if it is anything to worry about? I rubbed at the leaf with some alcohol and a tiny brown dot/lump came off but nothing else.

The pictures are of the bulk of the plant and the affected leaf (which I ended up cutting off). The leaf was also more yellow than the other leaves.

The small plant as a whole looks fine. However, there is evidence of spider mite and some bacterial infection on the leaf you cut off. Take a leaf between two fingers and run them the length of a leaf. If you see a dusty substance on them, then wet a paper towel and gently clean the remaining leaves on both sides. (Hold onto the base of each leaf to preclude pulling the tender growths out.)

If you have a lot of Cyms, you may want to consider spraying your collection with a product such as Bayer 3 n 1 Disease, Mite and Insect spray available on line and in most garden and box stores in the US.
