In general, I hate to see chemicals being sprayed "just in case." But if
you are in a fungus-prone environment (we are, in hot humid south Florida,
and if you are having recurrent infections, apparently you are, too),
spraying a fungicide once a month or so will not harm your plants and will
probably help.

The chemical should be rotated -- not Physan every time, but switch to
something with a different active ingredient after a few sprayings, and
then back. It's also important to spray the surrounding areas (benches,
floor, hangers, etc.), not just the plants, and to achieve proper coverage
(undersides of leaves). Kenni

I occasionally have issues with fungus and bacteria spots on the leaves of
some of my plants (esp. Phals). Just when I think I have it under control
I see spots on the leaves again.

Should I spray Physan occassionally? After I see the damage it's too late
so how do youse guys and gals handle this?

Good Growing,
Gene
