Agreed, but even so, I think water quality has something to do with it, as
well as air movement. I moved some of mine to moss, and still have a hard
time keeping it evenly moist. The new leaves are better, but still spotted
at the tips and slightly pleated. I tried an automated misting system last
year but got many bacterial spots and algae all over everything else in that
part of the GH. Lesson learned was that there's no substitute for watering
by hand. Yet that, for me, is inconsistent ... so I may have to give them
up, leaving me to grow noting but Cattleyas, LOL!. So I'm having limited
success, too.

How are they potted?

I found I kept mine too dry. Now I have them in sphagnum and water them as
soon as the surface even starts to feel dry. They are starting to recover.

I've got three seedlings. What in heavens name causes the leaves to dry
up
starting at the tips. They are in the shadiest part of my greenhouse.
They
look
like someone took a blow torch to them.

Any ideas?
