My Oncidium Twinkle is starting to develop brown tips on some of the leaves. The brown tips are not crispy and dry like on a plant that isn’t getting enough humidity. It looks more like water damage and the brown tip feels mushy. I found this on three leaves. Some of the other leaves have some dark coloration (purple-ish?). What’s going on? Out of concern, I cut the affected tips off and dipped the ends in cinnamon. I also wiped all the leaves with a little alcohol on a cotton pad. No signs of insect pests that I can see. Roots seems healthy (I can see them in the clear pot; sorry no pics). Does anyone know what is causing the leaf damage? Thanks for your help

    You’ve taken all the precautionary steps I would have suggested. Were the browned leaf tips coming from older bulbs? It wouldn’t hurt to isolate this plant and treat with a 3 in 1 bacterial/fungicidal spray. Just be cautious about leaving moisture on the leaves, and in the nooks and crannies. But to be honest, I’ve had about the same success with these sprays as with my use of alcohol wiping as you’ve already described. Otherwise it may just be one of those hybrids prone to discoloration and these types of spots. I have a zygopetalum that has struggled with similar issues. Just keep an eye on it spreading. Keep us posted!

      The leaf discoloration is on older leaves. I have some bacterial/fungi spray and will try that. Thank you. Hopefully no other leaves develop the issue.
