Kevin, all advice will be taken, thank you once again. If I get a moment today, I'll get more of the fungicide that I just ran out of and while at the store (Home Depot), I just may pick up another cattleya that I saw yesterday.... I woke up this morning, regretting not buying it so I just may have to do something about this.
Thanks again for all this advice.
Cynthia, I'll check for scale as soon as I've had another cup of coffee here. How do I check what's going on behind/under the sheath without removing it though? I'm going to quarantine this plant for a while. The thought of scale and I could be wiped out which will definitely solve my lack of space problem....and also my wallet.
