Default Problem leaves on my Phal hieroglyphica

I have a nice Phal. hieroglyphica. Problem is the leaves are "curling" upwards and two of the leaves have soft leaf-tips.

Anyone know what's going on with my Phal. I just got this plant.

Thanks.

Hmmm. Are they curled because of the manner they were packed? Otherwise, leaves growing in strange directions could be a light related issue. Mine has an inverted leaf, not the most aesthetically pleasing leaf, but it doesn't seem to mind it.
Weak leaf tips could mean something root/hydration related, but really tough to say. Could you post a pic so I/we can get a visual? Doesn't sound like too much of an issue though

Some say epiphytic orchids are parasite, for living on trees.. However, I say that orchids are parasites for luring us humans to take them into our homes to feed and care for them. Much more care than they would get in the wild....

I wont be worried because I have seen some of the leaves of this specie form like a spoon instead of spreading flat like other Phalaenopsis leaves....the soft tip leaf is maybe mechanical damage having chaffed against rough surface
But pictures can be a great help to aid us help you
