Myrmecatavola Frances Fox brown underside leaf

[lbwagner]

Hi, I bought a Myrmecatavola Frances Fox bare root from a local south Florida importer/grower. I was thrilled as it showed evidence of prior blooms and had a small bud spike forming. I potted it in a terracotta orchid pot with Better Gro Special mix after hydrating her in dilute seaweed water.
Upon closer inspection and 2 weeks out, I noticed brown on the underside of a leaf or 2 like a scar. The spike has grown quite a bit but has a purple section on the spike: maybe a node sheath?
Does anyone have any comments? The grower told me it’s not a concern.

Looks like there is some damage on the leaf but I dont think you need to worry too much about that.

The spike looks healthy to me, it just has some purple pigmentation. This is totally normal

Agree.

Thank so much for your reply. I’ll rest easier now.
