Greetings from south Louisiana -
We escaped damage from Katrina, but took a pretty good
hit from Rita. Last Monday, at our regular orchid
society meeting, several people were talking about a
wind-borne fungus that was attacking oncidium alliance
plants post-Katrina.
After our *last* hurricane in 2002, I lost several
plants, most notably Phalaenopsis, to what I think was
a bacterial rot initiated by impact from 100mph dust
or sand.
Sooooo - some suggestions on trying to head off any
problems this time? I will treat all foliage with
fungicide.
It is still essentially mid-summer here, so the plants
are going back into the yard.
I'd be grateful for any advice.
Regards - Nancy
p.s. plants that were dead before the storm - still
dead.
