Cold damage
1 Attachment(s)
On these leaves I noticed some light white areas. I know some are due to the water but I noticed this after being left outside over night and the temp got to 49-50f. Will it recover?

Can you post a bigger picture? I can't see the damage you're asking about.
|
Sure I'll get on on Monday, the "spots" are faint but are splotches of white on a few of the leaves.
|
Are they mushy or oozing liquid? Keep an eye on them to make sure nothing develops, but one cold night won't hurt most orchids.
|
They are dry and the leaf is still firm, just discolored.

looks like it might be mineral build up...try emulsifying a bit of milk in water or use some kind of foliar spray and whipe it down until it goes away :).
This is a paph parishii I got from OL this week. I wiped the leaves with a neem oil spray i bought a couple of times and now its nice and shiny :) http://i53.photobucket.com/albums/g7...i/parishii.jpg by the i love your avatar. what is it? |
My Encyclia tampensis have taken nights in the mid 40s. They often see 40ish weather in Florida where they are native. I wouldn't worry about it, but watch the plant for signs like those mentioned above.
|
Thanks for the info I'll be sure and keep an eye on it.
