ago. |

Help!
This Phal. hybrid has been growing like a weed. Now it just *looks* like a
weed. Diana |

Help!
That last mounted Phal, with the dark spots all over the underside of the
leaves, is atypical of what's happening. Some of these plants simply turn yellow, while others get those horrid spots. I am very concerned. Diana |

Help!
Oh oh!!!! I lost my collection of Phals & some Vanda's. My leaves had
yellow blotches which looked like bleach had been splashed on them. I think our very own Steve had something like this too. I would isolate first. Get a large drum or bucket with a fungicide mix, then soak the plants, submerse them for a few hours. Maybe try some cinnamon tea. Ray's recipe. Make up a bottle of Physan 20 & spray them every day. Good luck Diana, I will keep my fingers crossed & hold thumbs for you. -- Cheers Wendy No Spam Email Address Invalid Diana Kulaga wrote: That last mounted Phal, with the dark spots all over the underside of the leaves, is atypical of what's happening.

Our very own Tennis made a prediction about my Phal disease and he turned out to be exactly right. I'll put it in quotes even though it wouldn't be the exact words he probably used: "You'll be free of that disease eventually... after the last affected plant dies." Well, I believe I am free of the disease at last. The last affected plant died on Thanksgiving day (give or take a few hours). The last to give it up was, in fact, the one I wanted most to save. It was the very first orchid I ever bought, back in 1974 or '75. I ordered a new Phal this week (along with some other orchids). It will not be anywhere near the area where the old Phals were. I would isolate first. Yes!! Even though I don't really think your problem, Diana, is what I had, it may be something that will spread to the other plants. Move any suspect plants way over to one side of the patio, if possible. (If another plant looks suspicious later, move it over to the bad side.) Then spray that Physan. I would be surprised if Physan can cure that disease but if it is caused by a microscopic organism of any kind, the Physan will at least disinfect the surfaces in the area. Those surfaces may include not only the bench where the diseased plants were but also the surface of leaves of the other plants. Keep us informed! Steve |
