Dend. problem (with pics)

Another orphan with problems.
What is this and of course what should I do? I have all my plants indoors so I'd like to avoid heavy chemicals.

Humm... I don't really know... Maybe sunburn? Or fungus? Sorry I can't be of more help

Robert, I've seen that before. I rescue a lot of orchids, too. I've seen it in the thick or hard leaf plants. A grower once told me it happens when the plant gets not enough water, then too much water or vise versa. It causes cells to burst in the leaf and then it's like scar tissue, I guess. Nothing ever comes of it, it just gets hard and stays an unsightly spot until that leaf falls off. If it is not soft or soggy on that spot, I wouldn't worry about it. I don't like poisons inside either.
