If this was my orchid I would get a systemic fungicide like thiomyl. That is the only one that has stopped root and/or pseudobulb rot for me. I also make sure I cut off all of the brown and yellow bulbs with cutters that I have flamed to make sterile.Cinnamon is great to seal the wounds. The only time I let relatives have orchids are the silk ones, or cut flower arrangements. I did give my sister some who lives in Hawaii but her neighbor grows and gives her good advice! He gave her a huge dendrobium and she told me she wanted to plant it in the ground and he stopped her! GOOD LUCK!
