Cycnodes Wine Delight leaf spots and care

[Orchid-Obsessed]

Thank you all!

I’ll put it outside in the east facing balcony but will also get south sun and monitor it’s water. I’ll be careful and not put in direct sun until it’s acclimated. Behind the potted tomato plant. Thanks for letting me know about not fussy about humidity (outside is only 25% ish).

No bugs, I checked with my lighted magnifying glass (kids shake their heads, convinced that I’ve gone mad&#128512.

Last week, I also wiped down all the leaves with 50% solution of 70% alcohol because there were honeydew droplets on wine delight and my one golden flare blc cattleya growth.

New questions please: I just saw new roots emerging from the roots ( like the roots are branching)....Is this bad?

I removed the dried out sheath on the bottom, but have noticed pics of senior member with them so I’m not sure if I should have removed them or not. I read that they could house scales on tolumnia plants ( I have 1 ) so I removed it.

I read the full thread plus all the links experiment that isurus79 and watched the PET YouTube and took notes on my journal. I sit my pot in a saucer of water too, I think similar to the PET principle😀.

Thanks everyone for your time and for sharing your expertise.

I won’t worry too much and get very discouraged anymore, this means a lot to me.
