All because of the constat rain that keeps falling, day in and day out, every week, every month for the past six years in this country that used to have two SEASONS: six months wet and six months dry. NO MORE! I have been using Funlate, but it gets washed out as soon as it is applied and since my Vandas are all over outside there is no way I can cover them up. a very wet julie in caracas, venezuela *********************** So that's where our rainfall has gone. Please send post-haste.
To your problem: Sounds to me like you need to have something like a fibreglass roof over your orchids. It provides the light/shade but lets you control the amount of water your orchids receive. Good air movement is essential for both Vandas and Phalaenopsis. Stagnant air creates problems like yours. Colin Hamilton Webmaster Australian Orchid Council/"OrchidsAustralia" Rockhampton, Qld.
