Hi Senior members
i was wondering if it's poss to make a data base for orchid disease and pests.
for example one of my orchids had his leaves getting limp and wrinkled i was googleing the net for pictures of leaves that look the same like my orchid so i can relate to the cause of it, at the end i found what i was looking for but it was only after i touched the leaves and tried to find a discription for that filling the leaves has the feeling of leather and they looked like our fingers after a long bath.
than i read that there are 2 reasons for that: extreme cold or dead roots since i deprived the cold issue i took the orchid from his pot and examend his roots only to discover they are dead.
so what i'm sugesting is to build a data base with photos and the reasons for that specific condition and also a detail description of what we see and what we feel when we touch the plant, it will help a great deal for beginner growers if they can identify properly the symptoms much like a doctor diagnose his patient.
what do you think about this idea of mine?
