Whats wrong with my little Pleuro tribuloides?
This guy has done fine up until the fan in the vivarium where I keep it burned out. I know, gotta replace it ASAP
Is this a fungus or a bacteria?
This leaf fell off today
Here you can see some spots on the other leaves, should I be worried?

Is it squishy or gooey? That's a sure sign of fungal/bacterial infection if it is. If not, is it possible that it burned? Maybe it was too close to the light and burned when the fan went out.

My guess Tindo, bacterial. Looks like water soaked lesions which appears to have turned or in the process of turning brown than/or black. Does it exude dark liquid? If indeed is a bacterial condition you should remove the infected leaves and spray the plant with a bactericide. Because the leaf (ves) contain bacteria I would isolate the infected plant.

 Ahh! Well it was squishy, but only clear fluid came out. I will however remove it. THanks!
Also, how much is this treatment? If its too much, I minus well spring for a new 'chid instead.

Tindo, Physan 20 is the fungicide/bactericide/virucide choice for orchids. Keep the chid, nurse it back and if indeed it survives, you've earned a big KUDO in my book...  |

It does look like it was kept too wet. How is it doing now? I grew both of mine in potsand only watered every couple days; they both grew and flowered like weeds. Good luck....they are beautiful little guys.

Its still alive and its not continuing to rot. I have increased ventilation in the tank a bit by opening the top and allowing water to evaporate off its leaves.
