So when a Cattleya is crossed with Encyclia it becomes a
Epidendrum hybrid? Also do you have any idea why the leaves are all mottled as tho deficient in something ? I aquired this one from our very own Gary Wills (v_coerulea)? First time bloomer for me & I love it. Cheers Wendy |

It's hard to break old habits, still think of encyclias first as epis, though they were broken off quite a while ago Also do you have any idea why the leaves are all mottled as tho deficient in something ? No clue on that. |

Hi Gary, thanks for explaining, yes the newer leaves look okay & I
didn't mean to put you on the spot as I thought the mottled look was on my watch! Cheers Wendy "v_coerulea2" wrote in message ...

I can't explain any on the newer leaves. The older ones were treated for scale and spidermite some time back and some didn't react too well to the combo I used (Orthene, imidacloprid, Distance, and Avid plus a spreader-sticker). I can replace it if it's on the young leaves too and you think it's a virus. Try a well balanced fertilizer every week (I know you already do) and reduce the light. It takes good light but not full sun. The only insect I can think of that might cause some mottling is boisduval scale. But that would kill the leaf and p-bulb too. Gary -- v_coerulea2 |
