Default Need your help with Anguloa Ruckeri...seriously.

So

I've got a wonderful growing environment with 85% (sometimes 90%) humidity, good lighting, and tons of air movement.

I've done well with oncidium intergenerics, some slippers, and dendrobs.

Well, I bought a 4" seedling a month ago, and now its getting fuzzy mold around the sheathing leaves.

PLEASE HELP

There isn't much info on their culture, so I assumed it was pretty similar to lycaste.

If anyone has any tips...I will be grateful.

It's hard to say for sure without a pic, but I suspect it may be mold, as you described. Try gently wiping it off with some diluted alcohol, and see if that gets rid of it. Someone else may be able to help a little more.

Whenever I get mold (on the plant or the medium) I drench with Physan 20.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

Thanks Ross.
I figure I may do that, but I might try and keep it organic (they're in my bedroom).

Any cultural advice maybe? Do they like it wet?
Do they respond to SH....

I'm basically graping at straws, but I will post a pick.

Thanks
