Actually Physan 27 is one of the few products out there that is labeled for
orchids. I find it gives excellent local and systemic protection. I have
never had any problems with it like the old Kocide.

1) Copper is a very effective herbicide, sometimes used to kill aquatic
plant life.
2) Copper is known to be toxic to several orchids and many other plants.

Why risk it when there are alternatives to choose from?

All,

As far as I know, copper is not good when mixed with Dendrobiums (leaf
drop). Phyton 27 is copper based. Yet, I know several people who say
it's
okay to use.

Opinions, please?
