Pseuderanthemum variabile - Help!

[Clawhammer]

Does anyone have any tips for eradicating this horrible orchid room weed? I get the roots maybe 1 of 10 times when pulling. Its taken over.

Thanks!

It's tedious, but it can be eradicated.

Many herbicides, including Roundup, Southern Ag Crossbow, and others will work.

One method to drastically reduce it is to repot evertything into fresh medium, leving you with a reduce infestation to deal with.

Pull out or cut back what you can, and for any exposed stems that remain, dip a Q-tip in the undiluted herbicide and carefully dab the stem (only). The herbicide will travel down to the roots and kill them, with no damage to the orchids.

Send it to me. I thought it was pretty and wanted to keep it but it died from the heat.
