Yes, there is such a thing.... Smiling

Zygopetalums are native to tropical South America. Lots of rain there. But, if the leaves are still wet and the night temps cool, you are inviting leaf spots and rotting. But that is true of all orchids. Give them their baths in the morning so they have plenty of time to dry off before nightfall.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming...."WOW What a Ride!!" -Mark Frost
