Hello everyone!
Like the title says, i have a paph. Malipoense x Rothschildiana which i am worried about.
It is very recent purchase, (not an impulse buy, i wanted to grow paphs for about five years now, and have planned on getting one) - but after i brought it home, i started to have significant doubts.
1. i have found an adult mealybug on one of the leaves (which was immediately removed), and plant quarantined
2. the leaves have all kinds of spots on them. most of these don't make me worry - since they look like mechanical trauma - but... the edges of two leaves are brownish.
3. it looks very robust and healthy otherwise - there are four fans growing, and the plant has an about 50 cm diameter. The new fans are green and pretty.
Here are some photos -
plant overall:
details of things i am worried about:
brown spots (one leaf):
Brown spots (one more leaf):
Some random spots:
Closeup of main fan:
What do you experienced folks think? Is there reason to worry? Are there things i should or should not be doing?
Please help me out with this, it's my first paph, and i'm anxious not to kill it / do anything wrong.....
