Hello, Well, the disease met it's creator, a fine mixture of Physan, neem oil, baking soda and biodegradable dish soap made the trick. For future reference, the concentration of solutes for 1L of water is; Physan - 10ml Baking soda - one soup spoon Neem oil - 10ml Soap - half soup spoon Mix...

I've read all your answers, I'm going for a wide spectrum treatment with Physan, already ordered it. The abiotic factors that all of you mention are being controlled. Thritor, I also think that there are some vectors going on, I try to keep them under control with insecticide and neem oil. I...

It's not a rare, but uncommon variety of E. radicans, at least that's what the seller told me when I bought it several years ago. It may be a Dawsoniana, we'll see in a few years. Well, that -could be- Dawsoniana, is growing next to the Macodes inside a terrarium, it's thriving at it's rate...
