| Hello! I have a problem with my orchid. I bought it at a flower show on the last day(of the show). I was told it is an oncidium. It was not kept under the best conditions. The shop keeper left it in the ceramic pot half filled with water overnight so now I am having a strict water regime. A few days after I got it, these spots appeared. They have not spread and they have not got bigger. Also I have a dendrobium, a cambria and three phalaenopsis that are doing fine. Just as a precaution I moved the affected orchid away from the other ones. Just to describe the conditions in which the plants grow: humid(naturally), very bright - but no direct sun light, watering every week - depending on temperature. Sometimes I spray them with water - every 1 to 2 days. I live in greece, so now it is quite warm. I am worried it is a fungus or a virus. I would not like to get rid of it, as I usually buy poorly plants for less and them tlc them to being healthy. Please advise! Sorry for babling..

| Thank you for your replies. Whatever it is it seems to be spreading. Not fast, but it is. I does not bother me, I just want to make sure the plant survives and that if it is a disease, it does not spread to my other orchids. Should I stop feeding it or watering it as I would normally during its growing season? It has alot of flower stems that so far seem to be doing fine. Could over crowding be an issue? There are 6 pseudobulbs in the same pot. I think I will spray them with a fungicide as a preventative measure. Do you think the cinnamon based one is adequate or should I use something stronger? I would appreciate in your suggestions that you write the active ingredients and not just a brand name because I live in Greece and products here have different names. Thank you for all your help.
