Default Paph w/ curled leaves, should I be concerned?

My paph that I bought last year has had some great new growth, but I am concerned about the curled leaves. Should I be? What could it be a sign of?

In relation to culture, I have it in an appropriate paph mix and when the humidity tray is empty I water from the top. I do not water unless it is empty. In relation to light, it is sitting in a east window sill which gets morning light. Next to it is a Ludiscia (Jewel Orchid) which is growing great and about to bloom for the second time - so that's hopefully a point that some of you might be able to recognize and use to tell me if it's getting enough light or not.

This particular paph is a Wizardy x Nedra Coyner.





Thanks in advance for your thoughts and comments!

Looks like it may have gotten a little too dry when those 2 new leaves were developing,hence the crease. In the grand scheme of things I don't think it's a problem. Just remember not to let them go completely dry. They prefer to be evenly moist at all times but not sopping wet.

Thank you for the information. This is my first paph - so it's a learning curve, lol...

Ditto to what Terri said. I doesn't look too bad. Keep us posted.
