Orchids - orchard sticky white/orange spots


Expert: Wayne King - 6/17/2009

Question
hi could you help me i have an orchard that has suddenly produced with /orange spots all over the leaves and stem, it seems to be slowly killing the stem i'm concerned this is contagous to my other 20 orchards can u help.

Answer
Angel, I'm going to assume that you are referring to "orchids". I wouldn't be of much help with "orchards". If it is the latter with which you want help, you will need to choose another help topic.

In assuming that you are referring to orchids, I have to take another leap and assume that you are referring to phalaenopsis orchids.  These are also called "moth orchids".  Further, the "stem" to which you are referring, I'm going to assume is the old flower spike after the flowers have fallen.  Before proceeding further, could you please confirm my assumptions with a followup.   Thank you for your patience.
