    Default I'm seeing spots...

    ...everywhere! what do you call someone who is a hypochondriac about their orchids?

    Seriously, for years I had just a couple of orchids, and spots on their leaves did not concern me. I mean, spots happen. But, now that I have been reading up, I am finding I worry more. I found out my blc spots were just physical damage, and I know my oncidiums with tiny black spots are pretty typical (although I doublechecked them versus pictures to be sure).

    However, those spots on my still newish howeara seem odd to me, and they weren't there when I got it. They show up on the underside of the leaf first, as an almost translucent spot, and later seem like a whitish spot from the top. Are these spots I should worry about, or should I enroll myself in a self-help course for this hypochondria-by-proxy?
