Hello everyone. So I got this orchid about a month ago, gorgeous blooms. It had about three backbulbs in yellow, dropped its last leave. I thought ok that's normal. Those bulbs though were soft. Then the next bulb started yellowing and the leaf picked up this ugly coloring (mind you it never was put in full sun). The seller and other orchid growers recommended me a fungicide, so on Tuesday this week (november the 9th) I sprayed it with benomyl and separated the healthy part of the infected part.
I isolated it in a big bottle with plastic wrapping (because of the toxicity), and today when opening it I find out it has these dots on the back side of the leaves. Also, the oldest bulb is kinda starting to turn lighter in color, which is what happened to the other bulbs. As you can tell, the infection moves quite rapidly in the plant.
Is there any saving for my plant or is this problem worse than I thought?
These pictures above were taken the 5th or 6th.
The following ones are taken today.
This is the oldest bulb. As you see, it seems it kinda starts to yellow on the top part of the cane.
As you can see, these dots on the back of the leaves have appeared or, if they were already there, they have become very notorious. Before this, you could maybe distinguish some somewhat darker spot all throughout the leaves, but very faint, something you'd barely notice.
Any comments are greatly appreciated.
