| I had a Phal Brother Little Yellowboy do the same thing, some plants are more susceptible to these things. This is basically crown rot, you can see where the ends came off and are brown is right at the crown. Misting has to be done very carefully, but mine was not misted and did it anyway, I do get the crowns wet when watering. If they don't get completely dry in the crown it can happen. Cinnamon spray into the crown helps after watering.

"If nature ever showed her playfulness in the formation of plants, this is visible in the most striking way among the orchids. They take on the form of little birds, of lizards, of insects, a man, a woman, sometimes like a clown who excites our laughter. They represent the image of a lazy tortoise, a melancholy toad, an agile, ever-chattering monkey. Nature has formed orchid flowers in such a way that, unless they make us laugh, they surely excite our greatest admiration." Jacob Breynius
