Brown leaf tip on paphiopedilum rothschildianum

[Dan149]

Good afternoon guys,

I have recently discovered brown tips on some of my paphiopedilum rothschildianum leaves, could any one tell me why this is happening, I regularly water and fertilise, I've not had this problem before, any help would be greatly appreciated ,

Regards

Dan

Fertilizer/salts build up perhaps? Flush your media out well.

Do you grow in a greenhouse or indoors?

Thanks for the reply, I grow indoors under t5's , I have problems keeping the humidity up sometimes, none of my other paphs seem to be exhibiting this problem,I've just read that this may be a factor,any thoughts ?

Yes that is the cause. I see this more in the spring and fall. If the brown tips are spreading down the leaf on newer leaves you can cut the tips off with a sterile tool. Sometimes this is just natural leaf senescence though.
