Do you see pinpoint size, rust to dark colored spotting on your orchid leaves?

If you have thoroughly inspected your plants and find no signs of insect infestation, consider bacterial fungal infections.

How does one determine if your orchids have a fungus?
Examine the leaves of the plant.
Look for the tiny spots, soft spots, or sunken areas on the leaves.

What caused this disease problem?
Warm and humid environments with inadequate air circulation or ventilation is the perfect one to promote fungal growth.
The easiest and best solution to prevent this problem, is
“good air movement”!

Should you have the need for a more aggressive treatment —————– try the
Tetracycline Drench!
1 Tetracycline Capsule — dissolved in
5 Gallons of water in a large bucket
Dip entire infected plant in the
“Tetracycline Drench”

Repeat the treatment daily for two more days

(Note: save the “drench” for the three day treatment and then discard)

Reexamine plants in two weeks to determine that the fungus has stopped spreading.

Tetracycline capsules are available at
most Pet Centers in the Fish Section
