I recognize the tags and the way they're folded into the pot. You got them at Schwerter, right? Love their orchids, they're great quality and if there's a problem they do their best to work it out. What are the names of your new orchids?

[Hedge]

Hello and welcome, great new plants, I have a Phal very like the first picture, if yours is as strong as mine you'll have it for life!

[morsom]

@ camille... yes, i ordered at schwerter! so nice and strong plants! Wonderful!
I named the pics as similiar as the plants name.

polystachya bella


oncidium 'Twinkel 'Chian Tzy Delight'


masdevallia flying colors


dryadella edwallii


dendrobium unicum


dendrobium atroviolaceum


cirrhopetalum frostii


cattleya intermedia var. aquinii x intermedia coerulea


bulbophyllum orthoglossum



Now there is some mould?/mildew?/fungus? in most pots. I thought of giving them a rest before repotting, but now I think, I have to be fast?
There are blue spots - looking a bit like plastic - maybe a pestizid? - and on this spots, it's mouldy?

I'm new to this forum, so I'm not sure where to ask for help... at Pests & Diseases?

For some reason I can't see the pics of the plants (get red Xs instead of pics) but I did see the mold pics.

I didn't have any issues with mine, but I did notice that they sent the sphag potted ones a bit wet, so possibly being enclosed in the box sent off the mold in yours. Blue spots might be slow release fertiliser pellets, or slug pellets or whatever else. Best course of action would be to repot, only the medium seems affected.

I nearly got the oncidium twinkle too, sinceit was on sale. Nut I had already spent enough!

Thank you so much, Camille... so I'll repot the plants today... and mount three of them. I wish myself Good luck for my first trial.

[camille1585]

Which ones are you mounting?

[morsom]

I'll mount cirrhopetalum frostii, cattleya intermedia and bulbophyllum orthoglossum.
