Cattleya aurantiaca brown strip... - Orchid Board

Sandrilene · #1 06-19-2010, 05:04 AM

my Cattleya aurantiaca developed this brown strip down one of its leaves in the last week. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as to whats wrong with it. it is on a shelf there are orchids above and below it and none of them have anything wrong with them. the leaf in question is farther back on the plant then other leaves which have nothing on them. it is just darker so far there is no textural differences besides just being a different color. should i be worried about a disease? i have had this plant since january.

the dark part on the other leaves is my shadow (in case you thought the plant was changing color there or something).

giving you a bump, I'm having the same problem, maybe someone will answer.

Does water drip on it on a regular basis?

just from normal watering, but we are having our rainy season in Fl. It doesn't have any full time drip going on.
