    so i bought this orchid off Ebay was called "cuprea".... i wanted a mini of my own soooo bad and i couldn't find one anywhere else lol. But anyways it came with leaf that has like... black on it..... i'll post a pic. I was told orchids get bacterial infections pretty easy so i'm just wondering if this is what that is? and what i should do bout it? or if i should just not worry about it lol. Anyways heres the pic... please shoot me some input.

    I only see one image. It looks like a Masdevallia and it looks fine to me.

    Yup. The plant looks fine. There's some leaf damage, but that's not abnormal.

    What everybody else said. The "damage" looks mechanical and not fungal or bacterial. At least from where I sit...
