Default Help with lepanthes-calodictyon black spots and edges on leaves.

Just got this beautiful lepanthes-calodictyon from J&L orchids yesterday, but upon closer look I realized there’s black spots and edges on the leaves.

It’s kept quite moist/wet in the pot that it came with. I’m wondering 💭 if the black spots are related and being kept too wet. Should I unpot it and let it air out a bit?

What do y’all think ?

I could be being oooverly anxious too. Haha.

This is a terrarium plant. Are you trying to grow it out in a centrally-heated room?

Sorry I should had included this info.

It’s housed in a vivarium currently.

Humidity is kept between 75%~85% via a fogger.
Misting is scheduled every other day for 40seconds in the morning when light turns on
I have two barina led grow light at 18inches kept on for 12 hrs.
I have usb fan for airflow it’s not automated yet. I still haven’t figure out what’s the optimal airflow (any tips here on how to best set this up?)

I would keep an eye on it but it will probably be fine.

I do not think the pot is an issue. It is probably easier to keep moisture around the roots that way. My Lepanthopsis astrophora came potted and I will probably eventually mount it on cork but, for now, it seems fine. It did drop a few leaves upon arrival (October) but has been fine since then.

Good luck!
