Leaf damage to phals and others

[dbfive]

We recently moved and I am noticing that some of the leaves on my orchids are showing damage. We were so careful with them in the move, but I just can't figure out what the issue is. Can anyone tell me what might have caused this??

Cold ? Or cold water sitting on the leaves ?

I use room temp water and we live in FL. So not dealing with cold. 😞. Just so frustrating. Don't want to lose them

Did they sit in the car for an extended period of time? It kind of looks like sunburn to me. Whatever it is I would cut off the affected parts of the leaves back into healthy green tissue & dust with cinnamon.

okay....took your advice on cutting back. Thank you. Cinnamon?. What does it do?

[quiltergal]

Cinnamon has a natural antibacterial property. It will help keep the cut ends from getting infected.

Cooked for sure!

I think putting sugary water will do. Don't add too much sugar !!

Thank you all for the advice. Looks as if the cutting back/cinnamon is working. No additional issues. : )
