Unknown genus (Dendrobium?) with mold/fungus?

[Doom4life]

Thanks for the suggestions. I only reason why I thought it was a dendro was because the person at the nursery thought it was a dendrobium (it didn't have a tag).

I have the mix soaking in water for tonight and I'll repot it tomorrow.

Any suggestions for what to use for those blue green specs/mold? Also, how would I apply it (ie directly onto the roots and repot it right away?)

I haven't had to deal with this so I don't have a suggestion.

I've seen some on the Board say to use things like hydrogen peroxide or original (brown) listerine.

If you do, I would just spray or dip the roots in it.

After you get your plant cleaned up and ready for potting you may find it isn't such a big deal. The molds and things are often growing on dead or decaying matter anyway.
You will be improving conditions once you repot and that may put an end to it.

Have fun,
