This plant grows under LEDs about 12 hours/day. I run a humidifier and overhead fan on low during the day (not directly over the plants). Daytimes, it's generally 75-77 degrees, with humidity...

Thank you. Your answer makes sense. The plant in question is (I think) a "Dori." I guess I was mistaken that Doritanopsis tolerate lower night temps than straight phals. I should have checked. ...

Black Spot Fungus (Phal) Contagion Risk

Wondering if close-by plants are at risk. Is common "black spot" the correct diagnosis (Anthracnose)? Thank you.

How interesting! I've never gone down that particular paph-path. I'll have to read up on it. Do you have a large paph collection? Sounds like it.

Manhattan Water stats (from 2003)

My personal philosophy is to observe what the plant in question is doing and then support that process. If it isn't doing anything, it makes sense not to second-guess it.
