| I would not remove the leaves unless they turn mushy and degrade very quickly. Leaf spotting is common in catts that are grown "rough" (i.e. outdoors most fo the time or under conditions that approach the extremes of what the plant can tolerate. Here in Australia most people grow cattleyas outdoors, which can be really hot in summer and cold in winter. I judge at shows with cattleyas and the plants look disasterous but the blooms are fine. The extremes in temp are hard on the leaves.
