Quoting:Key - I put my orchids outside every summer under a tree and they get absolutely no direct sun, but a few of them have some dark spots on the leaves that don't look good. Could this be from the cool nights? I checked for bugs and found nothing.


oops, I totally missed this.
How are they looking now? Are they dry spots or are they wet-looking? My first guess would be fungal (dry) or bacterial (wet) rot.


The plants I kicked out in my first post on this thread? I put starter plant sized things in one window box (lots of space inbetween plants), and this is what it looks like now. The white and blue streptocarpellas are crowding out the Achimenes noid hybrids on either side. At the far end is the Sinningia Tampa Bay Beauty x self.
