    Yes, I too agree. Sunburn. Nothing you can do except keep it out of direct light.

    Cheers,

    Alright, I put it outside and it was shaded but someone moved a few of my orchids and this one had this white spot and i freaked out. Is the leave going to stay like that with that white thing or is it going to die????
