Leaf wilt

[JAB]

What causes the leaves to wilt like this? Too little light? Too cold?
Thanks

Are the leaves wilted? The plant looks normal to me.

a bigger picture would help, thanks.

They seemed much more rigid when I got it a few weeks ago. I am not too concerned, just curious why.

Oz Paph,
Talk to the good folk at ST. That is the biggest pic it will allow me to post here.

Thanks

When you say wilted are the leaves soft and floppy?
Or do yo mean they are more horizontal than before?

 

[Stone]

Light too strong?

I can't quite tell what's going on even with the larger pic.
Are you talking about the yellowish spots fading into brown
on the left side of the plant?

If the leaves seemed 'much more rigid' when you got it then I would consider dehydration as a possible issue with this plant. The medium appears extremely coarse.

Thanks Oz.
Yes, exactly they were pointed more up before. Nothing is really soft per se. Perhaps too much light?

No.
Normal growth as leaves mature they lower the upward orientation to a horizontal position.

Thanks Lance.

What is this?

A reflection of light.

That's exactly what I was thinking. If the plant was potted in this media from the vendor, they probably were watering it more than you do.

it's defenitely a mottled leaf paph...... the image is too blurry to make any other statement about it

 

[Ozpaph]

The mix looks very coarse, IMHO; so it would need lots of water and high humidity.
