Moldy Mold Meandering Mightily
Arrow Moldy Mold Meandering Mightily

:

Some of you may remember from a couple weeks back I made a post regarding a mold infestation in the leaves of my orchids. I tackled it and it seemed to go away for about two weeks. Until four days ago I noticed an old foe peek its head again in my beautiful orchid babies leaves. I unfortunately did not act accordingly in my first battle with the mold and it has now claimed another leaf and the bottom of my last leaf... <-- mostly for my Orchid as I have failed it :/.

But, to inspire some hope, I have done my due diligence this time. How you may ask? Well, let me tell you of my courageous battle against the mold!

I first started with wearing multiple latex gloves that I sterilized with 71% Isopropyl Alcohol. Upon making sure my tools where adequate for the battle I dove headfirst into battle. I begun with conservatively and carefully spreading with my fingers a diluted mixture of distilled water and Jacks Copper Fungicide to every single inch and centimeter of my beautiful baby Orchid.

Although, my Orchid may look a little worse for ware currently, I can promise everyone on this board it will rebound and come back as strong as ever.

I hope my tale enlightened a couple of ya'll to always stay attentive to the issues at hand and always be pre-emptive, as sometimes the signs don't hit you till they're right in your face. So help me God if the mold comes back I will not be playing nice and I have something much worse in store if it does

Glad you got a handle on the issue.

Remember that when you’re treating plants for pests/diseases, you should do multiple applications of the pesticide (3 is typically sufficient but check the label) with 7-14 days (again, check the label for specifics) between treatments. That way you can be sure you’ve eliminated the problem and limit reoccurrence.

I've never seen mold on orchid leaves. Your past post was about roots. Do you mean roots this time?
