https://www.researchgate.net/publication/267341459_Temperature_Affects_the_Development_of_Brown_Spots_on_the_Leaves_of_Oncidium_Sharry_Baby_Poster_Board_017
Summary- Higher temperature positively correlates with leaf spotting, potentially by driving more rapid vegetative growth. No negative effect on plants.
