sooty mold
I have 2 small bifoliate catts (both w/ aclandiae in teh background) that
have been getting 1) mealy bugs and 2) sooty mold on the leaves. These 'infections' keep bouncing, 1st one then the other. I'm blanking on teh cause for sooty mold. I can't remember if its brought in my a vector or not... Any help? K Barrett |

I'd hit 'em with straight alcohol, including the roots. JMNSHO.

sooty mold
Sometimes the sooty mold is growing on insect exudates.
Follow Diana's advice and wipe with alcohol. -- Ray Barkalow - First Rays Orchids - www.firstrays.com Plants, Supplies. Books, Artwork, and lots of Free Info! "K Barrett" wrote in message ...

sooty mold
Yeah, after I posted I googled and sure enough, sucking insects lead to
honeydew secretions which lead to sooty mold. Hence the recurrence. Once I finally get rid of the mealies the mold should abat. The alcohol sems to take care of both troubles. And I'll repot.
