I am *finally* starting to get moss growth up - I had humidity problems due to construction error, fan strength, lack of sufficient light etc - am seeing a self spored(?) fern after many tiny white mushrooms. None of the other plants seem to have this (I have had battles with other pests though I've pretty much won the war except for those tiny garlic/bush snails ). Does this look like something that needs to be treated? Is it a problem related to the conditions of the orchid case such as being too hot or humid? It is mounted on a piece of cork and I could take it out and put it back in my GH. It was placed in the case experimentally (with much of everything else) but I'd rather take it out than lose it as it's my first tetragonum which I've had for a few years now. I need to make a decision about it as I want to put in several more plants (begonia listada, pellionia repens, Pilea cadierei , ficus pumilla, pilea mollis, utricularia graminifolia, Dryadella zebrina, some masdevallias, hypoestes sanguinolenta, a Psychopsis Khali and maybe a little Epidendrum ibaguense) some of which will make taking it out difficult or impossible without probably disturbing said plants. Any opinions on whether I have a problem with my D. tetragonum are are welcome! Last edited by daemondamian; 01-04-2015 at 08:16 AM.. |

There is a rust that commonly affects roses but I think can get on some orchids too. The name is : Phragmidium tuberculatum
Here is a link for an orchid rust. Puccinia sessilis (Fungi and Lichens) by Norwichnaturalist on 1276192495 | iSpot |

Thanks for the suggestion wintergirl
I took it out to take a closer look and the rust did come off when I scraped it with my fingernail. Also there is actually a new cane/shoot growing along nicely so I'm not sure I want to do anything to disturb or interrupt it. I'm not sure what I'll do. |
