Vasco . Viboon Velvet Perfection (fungi infestation)

I was lucky to have at least one single bloom out of maybe several clusters as when I first bought it: it had 8 perfect clusters of beautiful flowers. The fungi had a feast due to the humid environment and the heat of the day and the cold nights...sprayed it with physan 20 and hopefully the plant will heal. Notice the blackened area of the leaf where the spike sprung out...I am still researching on how these have fungi when my other vandas and mokaras are not sick at all.

Very pretty, have you tried putting a small fan on them 24hr. a day?

I am on the 7th floor and they are all hanging outside of my window sill...Manhattan had series of thunderstorms and heatwaves...maybe its something in the air...

That's a beautiful I hope you find out what is infecting it, that way you may be able to get a better show of blooms next time around Good luck

Have you considered using Phyton 27?

I have Captan but I am thinking about it...I will also buy the pyton 27 and try it

Anky, mine are outside also but that doesn't mean there is a breeze. I run an oscillating fan on the outdoor ones just to make sure they are not staying damp. No air movement with warm/hot humid will grow molds/fungus in plants.
