Epidendrum nocturnum leaf discoloration
I received this Epidendrum nocturnum plant in the mail a few weeks ago. It seems healthy - new growth on most leads, a new bud, but some of the leaves have become a darker green with a reddish tint. This has affected most of the older foliage; the younger leaves are still bright green.
Is this a sign of too much light? I know for my Brassavola they say that you want some red speckles as a sign of adequately bright light.
It is being grown under a single T5 bulb, about 6-8 inches away. I measure 5000-7000 lux at leaf surface.
Thanks for any input!
