My orchid -Lavender has developed some brown and yellow spots on the leaves. But it has new leaf growing and flowering as well. Any tips to it healthy and happy again!?  
I water it with filtered water when it dries out completely. But I did leave it outside in the sun for a day \& maybe it was too hot for the leaves ??

If you put it outside in the sun I’d guess it’s sunburned. I’ve rescued a couple from friends like that. I just left the leaves on and while they looked a bit rough the plant was just fine.

sunburn. it'll be fine, just don't put it outside again.
