problems with Phaleonopsis

**bungaraya** · August 18th, 2011, 04:44 AM

Hello to everyone.
I have been maintaining a large Phaleonopsis collection for some years now and have learned to deal with basic things. I have lately come across a new and worrying problem- about six or so of my flowering plants have developed circular blotches on the petals, followed by early dropping of that particular flower. I have never seen this before and am quite worried- One plant has got a rather severe outbreak of these circular blotches and new buds are dropping when half open. Can anyone help? Many thanks, Ramlah.

Sounds like it could be petal blight but im no expert on Phals is it possible to post a picture

Salam I agree with them need a picture, I also had similar problem usually I will spray with insecticide/ fungicide maybe it will help this situation.
