Having gone back and reread the original post, if you're having rot
problems, I have to totally agree with Wendy on the fans. Decent air
movement - ion addition to general cleanliness - goes a long way to
preventing such issues. The gulf breezes probably helped you out before,
but you'd need to provide that artificially in Houston.

Hi Lisa,
It seems like you are going to have to spray & wash down everything.
I have used Physan to spray on plants & a mixture of bleach & vinegar to
wash
down the greenhouse & floors etc.
I would put in extra fans too.
Good luck.
Cheers Wendy

Hi Folks,

I've had these 2 species for several years. DENDROBIUM loddigesii
bloomed well for me for several years until we moved 4 years ago. Maybe
it is getting too much heat in my new greenhouse or needs
something that I am not giving it.

Dockrilla wassellii was given to me as a very tiny, out the flask
plant about the year 2000. It is now a fairly large plant. I know
it likes lots of sun but it needs repotting and any information would
be helpful. It has never bloomed.

I live on the Gulf Coast close to Houston, TX. I use to live right
on the coast but now live 30 miles off the coast on a lake. It gets
very hot and humid here in the summer we have hardly any winter. We
had one freeze this year. The reason why I'm telling you this is my
phals have suffered since we moved. I had a wonderful collection of
phals before we moved. Do you think it is because of the lake behind
our house? I have fought fungus and rot since we have moved.

Just a few thoughts. Any info appreciated.
