| I would not worry about fungus on leaves. Fungus in the root area because of too wet or rotted mix is a concern, but you appear to be past that now. On the leaves, fungus is only a problem if your culture is bad, like too cold for the plant, or misting late in the day. I would definitely stop the frequent use of Physan. It is not totally free of consequences if you use too much or too often. Better to just use it occasionally and a lower than the recommended strength. I have a bunch of white spots on a lot of plants because I got too cavalier about measuring it by the chug-a-lug method, and no doubt got the concentration higher than recommended. Bacteria is the cause of wet rot on/in the leaves, not fungus, and culture again is what to watch out for.
