crown rot (florid) transmissability
hello,
1 of my phalaenopsis got crown rot (?fusarium) the leaves fell off it was NOT overWatered i believe i caused it (obviously i caused it::) by trying to peel off the base of a physiologically yellow leaf) the crown was PITCH black (not liquidy) i have heard that sometimes they may start to grow (iow i have not discarded the plant -- it is in plastic though which also likely contributed to the rot) but concerned that pests (which i don't have currently due to the climate -- the only PLUS:) could transmit the ?coFactors that i have read are responsible for the rot (that fusarium produces) to the hopeFullyHealthy ones... or whether i should isolate it (open the bag) and whether there is actually any chance at an orchid surviving this? thank you p.s. i get these plants from the reduced table (to *save* them) and have seen bad roots but nothing like this and nothing this virulent (i.e. so quickly destructive) thank you! |

I do not use the bag method, as I generally kill the plants that way, so I use the isolation (and humidity) method myself. Karen |
