How much is too much?

Is this too much red for a new leaf? Doritaenopsis Black Butterfly

That is probably pigment because the plant has reddish flowers, not because the plant is getting too much light. Just ignore it.

Steve most baby leaves come out looking very red and will get greener. (on Phals)

I agree with Cynthia and PhalPal and it looks normal to me.

I've read its to do with the pure amount of growth hormones in the new leaf, will cause it to change colour as they reflect different wavelengths.

Interesting pikevi!
