The picture of a dendrobium below is as close as I can get to the leaves but it still doesn’t show the tiny, slightly yellowish/clearish pests on the leaves. With a 30X lope I can see the critters...

Bunch of Keiki

Thanks for the information. Live and learn! I am really surprised that the use of the seaweed and the superthrive had the possible side effects of making the orchids grow too well. That might...
