Brassia Problem
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Brassia 'OX' from an orchid show in
Portland, Oregon. I have started to notice some brown spots at the base of the 2 oldest pseudobulbs. I didn't see these spots when I first brought it home. Is it fungus? Elisa Wong |

Elisa,
Could be some kind of rot. Are the affected areas soft at all? Diana |

Brassia Problem
My brassia went quite black around the bases of the older bulbs; it
seems to be large patches inside the bottom leaves (I'm sure there is a proper term for them but I'm a beginner; sorry) & right at the base -- but it is still growing & blooming profusely. I thought it might be from water collecting in those leaves, so I do water carefully, & it's well water so no chlorine... I am not sure what might cause it but if your plant doesn't look sick otherwise maybe it isn't a big problem? The old bulbs do shrivel eventually & maybe the plant is still a little shocked from the change in location? Alison |

Thanks for the info on the brassia. I think that my brassia might be acting
like Alison's. I haven't noticed any rotten areas, so I will just carry on as usual. Elisa "Alison" wrote in message om...
