I haven't had this problem yet, but what kind of alcohol? Isopropyl? Ethanol? Other?

rubbing alcohol ISOPROPYL,

Natalia,

I didn't apply any water after the alcohol/peroxide and physan sprayings. I let the fan kind of dry out my Max and then applied again 1 day later. I went back to regular watering 1 week later. (I use semi-hydro)

I saw immediate results because the mold did not come back....i.e. no white etc.

Good luck. :) FYI- I have used both 70% and 90% Isopropyl rubbing alcohol.

I haven't seen any ill effects.

Actually any high-proof alcohol will work fine. When I was drinking I used vodka. Alcohol is the only safe treatment I've found for fungal growth on wood mounts. Since I grow lots of plants at 90+ percent humidity and frequent misting, I get mushrooms occasionally on the mounts. I use an eye dropper to flood the exposed fungus and let it soak into the mount. Since the roots are deep in the wood, it requires a few treatments, but it finally succumbs.

help

Hi Natalia. They all look dead to me. But maybe we can help the next one.
Where, how and well anything you can tell us about your method of growing please. 1)What city 2) inside or outside of house 3) sunlight or artificial light 4) How strong is the light, direct or indirect? 5) Watering, how often 6) Are you adding anything else and if you are how much...

1) Florida
2) inside, heat is too strong outside
3) sunlight
4) indirect sunlight on window, curtians are opened to britien the room, there is also a fan on
5) water, 10-14 days because its in the house
6) I do have fertilizer for my orchids but i only had used it once for when they had flowered.

Another issue i have, my best friends bought me an orchid, and it was dried, so i had watered it today on Sunday, 9,2010... how ever the leaves are statring to take me into cuation theses are Phals aswell.

I live in Miami. The phals I have I grow outside in the shade and they do really well. I water once a week. Sometimes twice depending on rain. I have one on a tree with no media which I water every day.
What I think you may be having a problem is they are stressed plants or their media might need replacing asap when bringing them home from the place of purchase.
Your watering sounds good at 10 days if you think it takes that long for them to almost dry up completely.

Yeah, i want to leave them outside to get fresh air, but im so nervous with the heat. but what do think of the other phals leaves i have images of?

I think they are asking for help too but I don't know if they came like that to you? Were they healthy looking when you got it? Did you check the roots and medium when you got them?
