Orange balls/bugs on phal's rotting roots? Female
Default Orange balls on phal's rotting roots?

Anyone seen these before? I couldn't find any other cases of these things online. There are strange little orange ball creatures on my phal's roots. They seem to be killing the roots and then emerging from them or they're just consuming the dead roots that are rotting for some other reason.

I got this phalaenopsis a few months ago and I've repotted it a couple times because I can't seem to get rid of whatever this is. I keep cutting off the rotting roots and the little ball bugs keep popping up with more rotted roots. I tried some Physan 20 on it, obviously didn't work. I haven't tried a hydrogen peroxide bath yet, I will try that next time I repot.

**I tried to post pics but the forum won't let me. ??
