Help needed- white stippling on leaves of new orchid? Female
Default Help needed- white stippling on leaves of new orchid?

Hello everyone,

I was hoping to get some help with this, because I've been reading about different pests and diseases all day and I'm no closer to a conclusion.

The other day I was unexpectedly gifted a Masdevallia and I've been doing research on their care, as I've never had one before. The plant seems overall quite healthy to me, with new growth producing little roots at the base, and clean new leaves.

However, I notice that on a lot of older, mature leaves there is some white or translucent stippling, or spots. I've read about chlorotic stippling mentioned in correlation with mites, but I was hoping someone with a more experienced eye could give me some feedback on what it might be?

I think this is my fifth post on the forums, so I'll try to attach a few images of what I'm talking about.

There are also some bigger spots on two of the leaves, one which looks quite old and has dry black edges, but the other one looks fresh and as though part of the leaf became translucent? The pictures show all three of these symptoms. This seems like a separate problem from the stippling so I'd also like some advice on that.

I don't know what this could be, and with it being a new plant I have been keeping it separate from my other orchids. I just don't know if I should I be worried or intervene, so please help! I want to take good care of this one.
