Definitely not sunburn. I think its some infection or pest, though I'm not sure what, probably pays to separate it from other orchids. Good luck, I hope it recovers
Mines simple: a small desert bowl.
- Super easy way to make fancy steam poached eggs - pour a thin layer of water on the bottom of a pot and place small bowls on top (Coat each bowl with oil beforehand). crack an egg into each bowl, turn on heat and place lid on. Cook until white is firm but yoke runny. Serve on bread with avacado or butter
- place on top of butter to keep fresh
- cookie cutter! (Good for other doughs too)
- mini terrarium for micro greens (if bowl is glass)
- your own unique measuring unit that no-one else will understand
- upside down as a stand for raising other dishes up
- 1 person baking vessel - bake things in it
- scooper
- lid for jar
- pot for herbs
Awesome photo
This is amazing I didn't know they could be coulored like that either. Thought it was coulor swapped first. Beautiful photo
I'm not quite sure what you mean by elevation, But elevation would be only slightly above sea level and plantmaps.com says I live in zone 10b.
We live on the very limit for apples, only golden delicious and some cooking apples seem to do really well, other varieties we have don't produce much and are vulnerable to pests. I hope climate change doesn't skrew my apples over in the future but I think it might.
off the top of my head the ones that we grow and are fruiting (New Zealand):
Fejois (tons of em), persimmons, guavas, bannana, lemons (just started), avocados (nearing the end), quinces (gotta make jelly today), apples (we have picked golden delicious and cooking apples will be ready soon, I'm going to make some cider), figs (nearing end), Casimiroa, tamarillo, rocoto chilli. I think kiwi fruit are fruiting too but we don't grow any.
Use them to predict the weather! Their scales close when its humid (predicting rain) and open when its gonna be sunny.
Is the LED light a grow light? If not that's fine, most normal white LEDs are just as good or often better than cheap grow lights so don't bother switch.
Its really hard to tell from a photo how bright the light is, but my guess is its medium indirect light, high indirect is still really bright.
I would recommend a maidenhair fern, their leaves look amazing, especially with light shining through and they can handle pretty much any level of indirect light.
Another recommendation would be a hoya, there are lots of varietys some have flashy leaves, and they are easy to look after.
Then if you want a challenge: jewel orchids; these orchids have beautiful iridescent leaves and tend to like high humidity, and low to medium indirect light, unfortunately they are an absolute pain to grow.
I also love mounted elkhorn ferns if you want a splash of weird. Very easy to care for.
I have had surprisingly good results with succulents in low light conditions, they grow very slow but seem to usually do fine.
You said you got it from online so i did a quick search for matching images and the photo comes from Trees South africa (the watermark that is partly cropped out in your image says this to) according to their website it is Harpephyllum caffrum.

Higher resolution image is on this sight which further back up it being Harpephyllum caffrum (leaf shape and arrangement match) def not karaka as karaka leaves are shaped differently.
Edit: red --> resolution (stupid auto correct)
Thanks, I'm trying out NewPipe right now but haven't quit got the hang of it, though Im not giving up yet, I just don't feel I can rank it yet.
Also i agree those Fossify apps are great that's why I included the Fossify suite in A tier. I realise now that maybe they arent all A tier so Here's my ranking of Fossify apps that fits in with the prior ranking:
Low S tier: Contacts, phone, SMS messenger
A tier: Gallary, file manager, Calendar, Clock, calculator
B tier: paint, voice recorder, keyboard, camera, launcher
Haven't used enough to rank: notes - no sync and no markdown :( Music player - just haven't used it much
Yea microraptors have got to be one of my favorite creatures to ever exist
graphite looks promising but is still in early days
