Hi Frank, Anytime I see the first signs of brown, I spray with Physan.
If this were my plant,
1... I would unpot & remove the bad stuff.
2...Bath in a Physan solution.
3...Sprinkle cinnamon on any wounds.
4...Repot in a mix of your choice, in a tight fitting pot.
5...Pray a lot!

Happy Holidays to all.

I have a question regarding my Psychosis papillo. It has been growing
happily for years and has had as many as four spikes at once. It has been
a
happy camper. It is growing in osmunda. It is now failing. The problem
started with the back pseudobulbs shriveling and turning brown. It is
progressing up to the actively growing part of the plant and I have lost
the
most recent new growth. I haven't been able to track down what the likely
ailment is. Cultural conditions have not changed as it had been really
thriving for me. What says the wisdom of the group? Any suggestions will
be appreciated.

Thanks.

Frank
