| Can this Orchid be saved?? See Pics It's me again. I have new updated photos. I think this is a fungus or disease. I cut off all damaged leaves. But what do I do now? The roots are not rotted. What kind of fungus or disease is this? I have been keeping it away from my other orchid so it can't spread. Can this plant be saved? Please look at the photos and let me know what you think. |

| OK, I've cut off all bad leaves (leaves were all on the left side) and moved this plant into the room with my other orchids where it will get more sun light, (not direct) away from any cold drafts. Here is a full picture of the orchid. How can you tell how old a orchid is? |

| I agree - potentially could be just old leaves on the plant - most of what you have left there doesn't look too bad. After each blooming cycle the plant will put out a new lead (or two) from each pseudobulb that bloomed. Most of mine bloom once per year - though a few will bloom twice - depending upon how often yours blooms for you it is possible to follow the successive pseudobulbs back to the oldest and estimate the age of the plant you have. mike |

| If all the damage was on one side of the plant, it suggests that it might be either mechanical damage or sun burn. Fungus, bacteria or insects don't stay to only one side of the plant. Did you suddenly expose the plant to more light than it ususally gets, or move it to a new spot? If it's sun burn, don't cut off any more of the leaves. They will continue to nourish the plant. |
