Bacterial Brown Spot in a Psychopsis mendenhall

[reptiman202]

Hi all,

I've had this P. mendenhall for about 2 years and noticed these spots on the newest pbulb and leaf that is still in the process of emerging. Including this newest pbulb, there are 5 pbulbs and its been growing steadily without a hitch until now.

My top differential was bacterial brown spot though I am very open to other thoughts. Anyone have input on why the lesions would appear in various areas of the pbulb and leaf rather than spreading from a single site? Also, I was debating continued monitoring for spread vs removal of the infected tissue. I worry about trying to remove the tissue at the base of the leaf as the pbulb is still developing.

Pics 1&2 are of the same lesion. Pics 3&4 are of the same lesion. The fifth picture is of the base and includes the lesion from Pics 3&4 in it.


Thank you all for your help and insights!
