    Default Update on the Leaf Spot

    I just noticed another bigger spot! The top side looks pretty much like the last one, but the bottom side is very different. How weird! The pics below shows (from top to bottom) the top side of the leave, and the bottom side of the leaf. Any ideas?

    Lily, are you spraying your plant at all with some kind of fungicide? You might need to do that several times in succession to control that stuff if it keeps spreading like that. Oncidiinae are notorious for developing those kinds of spots and blotches.

    I've noticed that mine get them too. I spray w fungicide and it seems to help slow it down. Sometimes I just cut the leaf past it if it is close to the tip and dip the cut end in cinnamon.
