I just picked up some pleuros that have basically been wrapped in paper with damp sphag for a few days. A couple have lost some leaves (lepanthes) from being too wet.
Some of the masdies also have leaf loss, but I suspect this is something else, as I've had it happen on dendrochilums too - leaves look fine but break off near the base. (Lack of water, lack of humidity, or something less benign?)
Does any one have suggestions for a safe dousing for the lepanthes? I'm considering chamomile tea (it seems to have worked for preventing damping off, for what that's worth), weak hydrogen peroxide (a bit wary on this one). Can cinnamon be in "tea" form to work? What about Lance' dragon's blood? Any experiences would be appreciated.
I suspect they will recover ok without anything, but I want to up their chances of survival. ...
