Black blotches showing up on R. Digbyana

Your media could be too moisture retaining for South Florida. Rlc digbyana does best when in a medium that dries quickly after watering. If left moist too long, it will develop root/rot issues.

I have mine potted in leca, in clay pots. Lots of water at this time of year but quick drying. Less water in the winter...allow longer stretches between waterings.

I grow mine mounted for this reason.
