I’m curious about the scale thing. I have periodic breakouts. I douse with alcohol spray and use the yellow sticky traps and they never “take over.” How did yours get out of control?
I got rid of them by discarding the plants unfortunately..

I would love to grow sarcochilus again though, in UK they grew easily and flowered routinely. A lovely genus :)
 
I find that an extra burst of light (about as much as they will tolerate) in late Autumn (sorry Fall for you guys) into Winter helps to initiate spiking.

It is supposed to get below freezing again tomorrow night, so I will have to bring them in again. Maybe if I put them under the Cattleya lights? Also--does my having to drag them in and out to protect them from a freeze interfere too much with the cool period? I set them on the coldest window ledge I have--north facing in an older window, but it is still around 60F (16C) at night.
