Unfortunately, my Paphiopedilum Hsinying Anita, which flowered for the first time in 2021 January with very good quality flowers, is coming down with something nasty. I had to cut down a few leaves a few months ago. I applied some Dragon's Blood liberally just in case. Whether that helped or not, the disease had not returned until now. It is striking again.
The bloomed fan is more than half way trimmed off due to the advancing symptoms.
The new growths (one is ready to bloom again and the other is smaller) are mostly fine but the diseases started on one of the leaves on the larger new growth, which is very upsetting.
My Hung Sheng General and other multis are fine. I have even dropped them off and had objects dropped on them causing mechanical damage and such, but they are all tough as nail.
It is so annoying when the pretty ones get hit by diseases.
Please share actual cases where you have dealt with leaf spotting/rotting diseases rather than just throwing random chemical and products names. Thanks!
I have sulfur based spray for home use which had badly burned my venustum a few years ago and I had not used it but kept them since I was not sure how to dispose of the leftover.
Fortunately, though, I rarely see diseases happening in my collection, I most do not need to worry about spraying.
This current one really sucks though, as I really liked the flowers.
