Just lost a huge Dend. to thrips! I managed to save 2 other Dends. that were attacked and are making a come back but it's 'iffy' how sucessful I was...time will tell.
The person tending to my orchids while I was gone did a little over-watering and my Miltassia Shelob and a Brassidium suffered major bulb rot. On the plus side, I have some extra room for more....
Anyone know of a good line of defense in treating and preventing thrips? Organocide? Bayers 3 in 1 systemic? I'm having a confusing time in recognizing whether I've caught and eliminated the problem as the damage already done and unsightly doesn't reverse (cosmetically) so, how do I recognize when the problem's been eliminated?
Thrips....the worst!!!!!
