what is wrong with my acanthephippium's leaf?

[Greenthumb.5]

I just got this recently. The brown mark has been spreading down along the new leaf.

I don't know sorry. Giving you a bump.

My general thought is that if it's spreading it would be best to remove the leaf before it spreads to the others. However I don't know this plant so that's just a general thought.

Check the roots.

it looks to me to be a terrestrial. the mix could be void of any nutrition and its starving

The genus Acanthephippium is mostly deciduous, so maybe it's time for this species to start drying up and dropping its leaves?

Acanthephippium mantinianum

The plant looks to be sun scalded to me...

Definitely not. It is halfway in the growing season.

how's going on with your acanthephippium? I'm following this thread because I have one acan. too.

Sorry. I haven't responded for so long. The leaf kept dying back so I cut it back on the healthy tissue. The plant is doing well right now but I underpotted it. Because the root system was too small for its pot from the summer.
