Plants will often lose a leaf or two when you first get them - it can often be the shock of transport if they're shipped, as well as a new environment. They'll usually recover after a while. So don't...

We've used a lightmeter from Amazon to measure light output.

Does look like you could do with increasing the light; We get 1000-1200fc (so around 10k-12k lux) at the top by the light, 600-800fc...

We grow several Masdevallias in terrariums with no problems whatsoever. Just a bit of air movement and plenty of moisture and they should be fine. Give it a go!

Interesting, thanks. It was definitely a living root - it was green where I cut the fungused part out, and still fleshy. If the tip had died, then there's the risk of the fungus spreading.

I've removed the end of the root which had the fungus now, and disposed of it. It was about 5-8mm of root covered with grey downy fungus.
