Mutliple orchid probelms possible fungus/wrinkled leaves
Hello, I have a few orchid problems and was hoping for some help. I have done searches on possible problems and some seem to have multiple possibilities so I was hoping some pictures would help to have someone point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance.
The first picture is of some fungus or something that I can't seem to shake. I had some kind of ball mushrooms or fungus growing last year around the same time I saw this, and now it seems to be back. This is after multiple dips of Physan which seems to help with most of the fungus issues I have seemed to have, but never get rid of it completely. This is a grey/white fuzzy mold with what almost looks like eggs in it.
The second picture is some white fuzzy mold growing on the roots, this is after being drenched in physan, and repoted with new mix and its still cropping up, notice it mostly on the underside and top of medium, when I repoted it, it was here and there in the old mix.
The third picture, shows some wrinkled, leatherlike leaves. I have repoted this one as well. The roots weren't super healthy, looked like they had a bit of root rot here and there, and I cleaned it up, and repoted but the condition does not seem to be improving.
The fourth picture shows a leave that is getting black stuff on its end, and some of the leaves are getting wrinkled as well, this is the same one as the second picture. it was recently repoted (a month or so ago) and its condition has not changed.
The fifth picture, is leaves that are actually curling and wrinkled.
The 6th picture shows some tiny black specs all over some fairly new growth, I have seen this on multiple plants of this nature and I'm not sure if its normal or not.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I typically water once a week. I live in the Olympia, WA area. I fertilize typically every other week.
