Yuck, that doesn't look good. However, you will have to wait til someone more expert comes along.

Hey Bernie, Thanks for that, we do actually have that, we printed it up and went through it all. Been in town to stock up on fungicides etc. Still trying to get our hands on some cinnamon extract. So far our only means of getting it, is to go and see a natrapath and get his permission for the health food shop to sell it to us.  Can anyone explain why it is so difficult to get cinnamon extract here in Australia? or are we not looking in the right place? Sonia

I just use the powdered cinnamon found in the herb sections of any grocery store. It works for me. As for the marks on the orchid, my guess is fungal. Chances are this leaf will fall off. |

A word to the wise for anyone who has never done any shipping outside the US....sending products to other countries is so NOT the same as sending between states in the US. Always, always, always check the government websites for the individual rules and regulations. Items getting confiscated could be the least of one's worries should the item/product be banned or regulated in some way.

Is the cinnamon extract you can buy in grocery stores the kind you use? I bought some, but it is not straight cinnamon, it has some other ingredients.

We got some today (cinnamon extract) from health food store (via natrapath). We did get some other fungicide stuff yesterday, I will have to go and have a look as I can't remember if we bought Mancozeb fungicide, I know we were looking at it. Steve will remember, sorry my short term memory is going through a phase, hopefully it will improve soon LOL Emmaye, I saw the recipes for extract yesterday, I am considering giving it a go. 100ml cost us $20 good thing you don't need to use a lot. I also checked on the net and found another recipe which they say only needs to be left for a minimum of 2 weeks. Although I imagine the longer it is left the stronger the brew. Sonia

Steve or Sonia, I was hoping you had Mancozeb, it would have saved you time and money chasing cinnamon extract. Bill |
