Rotting Roots on a Phalaenopsis Female
Default

I'm in a similar situation and need to 'sphag-n-bag'. I'm a complete newbie and don't know where to get the fungicide. I'm pretty sure I need this because some of my leaves have developed black spots on the underside of the leaves and those spots have begun to break through to the top side of the leaf. I've posted pictures on this thread

I'm assuming, based on the other pictures I've seen, that all of those roots are dead. They're pretty hollow and crunchy.

I mainly use Physan 20 and cinniamon power as fungicides. Personally I think Physan 20 is better to use for prevention than treatment. I have never used Phyton 27 which is systemic bactericide and fungicide, but some people said it saved their plants. Of course, you can try other stuffs like alcohol, preoxide...etc. From my experience, cinniamon power is so far the best fungicide among others (will try to get phyton 27 next month)

You may get the fungicdes from many ways(online, orchid, or hydorponics supplies...etc) Mine (Physan 20) is either from First Rays or Calwest. Walmart and Lowe's also sell fungicides, but I guess they are not strong enough.
