For Chris
Couldn't respond in the thread you started. Here's my answer.
I think it's mealies. Don't quote me. It's also very common at this time of year in FL, Chris. Hot + wet + hot + wet = mold. Soap, water and alcohol are your friends. An application of Physan can help, but this weather we're having is tough. Diana "Ray B" wrote in message news:000001ca0416$c90b40f0$0500a8c0@fro... Often, such a "sooty mold" is a precursor to insect problems (I'll be honest, after than nice French viognier we had with dinner, I don't recall if it's scale or mealies), but soapy water is useful to wash it off.

It's not selective as to kind of orchids; it's on different kinds. I have tried to clean the leaves by hand using cotton balls and alcohol. The mold 'washes' off without too much effort. It occures on the top and bottom sides of the leaves. Can anyone recommend a deterent of some kind? (spray?) Chris Savas (remove not from the address to respond directly) |
