Is this light damage? Now, I have theorized that it could be the humidity, but...
Pretty bad points I know, but its all I got. Is it the high light or humidity?

You can ask questions btw! Thanks!

Some of it may be light, but one of the pictures strikes me as root rot. What medium do you have them growing in? High humidity may be contributing to the soil staying wetter than it should.

Oh boy, is it hamata?

And you yell at me for this but... I have em at room humidity.

Also, seems i have found a semi translucent bug on the growth tip of the undulatifolia, do you know what it is?

Oh, and I have it in a net pot filled with sphagnum moss

Looks more like low humidity. Most pictures gives out a arid vibe to me…try to reach at least 70% once during the day.

How? I have no way of achieving this as it's an open tent inside my living room...

The aristo is growing fine in these conditions...

...ok, i'm not sure if that is a valid argument in this situation xd

For the first couple especially, I would say too much light.

As for humidity, haven't had that trouble with the few I grow and my winter RH is 15%. But none of mine are ultra lowlanders or such that require very high humidity.

Discussion never hurts. They managed to adapt to room humidity (nice klossii) so they should react positively to additional moisture. I would flood the media every week or so ( make sure water drains ) and spray here and there to keep media damp, that should give you at least 10% humidity boost. Can throw live sphag on there as additional barrier and indicator. I grow them such way on a open balcony.

But won't that only work for small plants? Or does humidity rise?

Can I spray the plants themselves? If so, how long till the next spray?

Oh, and the hamata has been suffering from rootrot since the very beginning, I have absolutely no idea how to stop it. I have kept it moist the whole time...
Nothing has helped...

I moved it down to a lower light level, i'm going to see if that helps

Not sure about the the parameters they are in but you should adjust based on your own environment. Wet media should bring up surrounding moisture lvl which should be beneficial to even larger plants. You could try to make the tent semi open or enclosed. You can spray the plants themselves as often as long the water on leafs are allowed to dry. Not sure about the Hamata root rot mine stay pretty wet but they do get natural nightly temp drop so you might have to improvise and simulate that in room.

Buy a mini waterfall and place inside your enclosure. Works great to increase humidity.
