Help, Phal leaves...disintegrating???

I noticed one leaf last week, but now it's 2 leaves on one phal, and now happening to another phal. Something very strange with the leaves. These orchids are in my terrarium.

Paph finally bloomed again!

I've had this Paph for at least 5 years, likely more. It bloomed one year, and nothing again. It would get some growth, but that was it.

Early this year I decided to experiment with it. I divided...

Inside my terrarium, under LEDs and filtered, western sun. Temps between 66 at night, and maybe as high as 78 during the day. Humidity around 60-80%.

What's happening to my Catt?

Noticed this started about a month ago. I didn't think much about it, but it's looking worse. Seems to only be this orchid. I haven't changed anything that I've been doing for it for over a year.

Pleasant surprise on P. equestris this morning

Sunday is watering day, so everything gets looked over well. The last bloom dropped from my P. equestris a couple of weeks ago, and wasn't expecting to find anything.

But, there it was, right at...

It is not bioactive. No fungus, but I'll keep an eye on that. I've been fertilizing a bit more than i typically do, to promote healthy growth and flowers, but perhaps I should cut back some.

Algae growing in terrarium, on orchids...okay or bad?

I noticed algae growing in the bottom of the terrarium, among the hydroton media. Ive used bleach water before to kill it. However, its growing on the orchid mounts, and pots.

So it might be a good idea for me to go ahead and put these outside, even at this late point? Once concern though is, our sunlight at 7300' is pretty harsh. My options would be east side, or west...

It's in an interior room, facing west. Max 64-66f. If I put it right next to the window, it might get that cool. Our winter nights will get quite cold.

Thanks for the info.

It's grown in dryer air, and without air conditioning, up to about 80 during the day. Like I said, it gets light from the grow light starting at 0530, and then the sun hits it...

D. kingianum evaluation, and advice?

Sorry, Dirty, I wasn't clear. I mean a Phal growing keikis...on their OWN spike, not a flowering spike. Take a better look.

Thought that one of yours is something!
