Hi, West,

I like Captan for the prevention and treatment of crown rot. Some folks
will tell you to use Ortho (wettable powder); however, I have never
found this in my vicinity, and there is Enstar that you have to buy by
bulk. So, since Captan is not so difficult to find and use, I have
resorted to it.

I'm new at this. I've got ten orchids that were given to me by an
elderly gentleman, and one ( an onc. ) is turning brown at the base, one
part at a time. I don't want to lose any of these plants.
I THINK it is crown rot. I get it in my daylillies, and treat it with
Spectracide.
Can I use this product on orchids? If not, what can I use?

completely, totally hooked.
