Susanne/cb977, I am going to give the listerine when I get home Monday on it if there is anything that is visible. I have used it in the past but have been out for awhile and I didn't even think of it. I used some alcohol and cleaned off the affected areas and then reapplied cinnamon.
I really want to save this plant. I love it and I know they aren't easy to come by. If it ever makes it through a whole growing season and I can divide it, I am happy to share with you. I know you like this one a lot too.

Aww Jenn...that is SO sweet of you! I really do absolutely LOVE this one...if and when you divide it I'd be honored to have a little piece of it.
I think the Listerine will do the trick. It's one of two sprayers that are always available on my work bench...Listerine in one and a 50/50 mix of alcohol and 409 cleaner in another. In my orchid room, they are absolute necessities.
and let us know how it comes along.
