My moth orchid has this white splotch growing on the leaf recently. I’m not sure if it is a pest issue, but i have separated from the rest of my plants just in case. Any ideas/solutions? :)

Could be sun burn, move further away from direct sunlight. I’m in zone 9B.

Hmm, though it is in a north facing window and gets no direct sunlight at all, and i get low level of light even right on my windowsill most of the time, could it still be sunburn? i will move it back further if so:)
0 gillningarNorth facing window with no direct sun should be fine. I’m having a hard time seeing the white splotch you’re concerned about. Is it only on one leaf, or several?

Are you talking about the bump on it?

this is the white splotch, i attempted to wipe it off with a lightly damp towel however it remained on the leaf. i also noticed today that the newest leaf is browning all over. i can take a photo of that too when i get home, from memory though, the leaf seemed perfectly fine then starting browning on the underside . any help appreciated🫶

Ooh I thought that was the light hitting the leaf. I see now. I’m sorry I don’t know what that means. It could be a fungus or overwatering. If you can’t find the answer here there are many sites that are helpful for orchid issues.
