Two unknown plant issues: what is it? Female
Default Two unknown plant issues: what is it?

This morning I noticed a small yellow clump on a piece of bark at the media surface in a pot. I put the piece of bark in a plastic baggie. Looking at it now, I also see a few little brown jelly-like blobs. My first reaction was that it was a fungus , but these little blobs are making me think that maybe it's an insect? I've been having a problem with fungus gnats lately, but I've only seen the adults. Could it be the larvae/pupa of the gnats?

If it helps, it's a Miltassia (I believe) and I usually water it about once a week, though a little more (maybe twice a week?) now that it's hotter.





And for issue #2, I have a Wilsonara Lisa Devos with some necrotic spots on the leaves. I bought it in rough shape as an out of bloom special, so I thought that the spots then were due to some rough handling in the greenhouse where I got it, but these same spots are starting to occur on the new growth as well...





Ok, I lied, third issue!
I got a bag baby Oncidium Sweet Sugar on clearance for $3. It looks really robust and healthy--even started growing out of the pot! But once I got it out of the baggie at home, I noticed an abnormality on the new growth--some little light colored long skinny spots. I just wanna make sure it's nothing serious before I integrate it into the main collection.



Thanks for the help!
