Brassavola problem with purple leaves.
1 Attachment(s)
It started couple weeks ago after i hanged them outdoor, under 50% sun shade mesh. They’re doing good after first week and then some leaves have random shape purple spots/areas, especially on the sun direction. I thought they got sunburn but then alot of leaves’re still fine. These orchids still put out new grownths, now the purple leaves’re turning red and yellow. Any idea would be appreciated. I’m just a beginner even after more than 5 years growing other types of orchid lol.

Those purple spots happen with high light. In your plant's case it's into the damaging range. I suggest a little more shade.

Think of this Brassavola as a pale skinned friend. It can take high light, but needs time to build up the appropriate pigment to prevent burn. Pushing your friend into bright sun can harm them, but letting them acclimate to increasingly bright conditions is likely to be less harmful. Going into winter is a great time to acclimate plants since the sun is getting weaker as we approach the winter solstice. |
