miltoniopsis and brown rot problems :(

[Wrebbitrocks]

I'm just about to cry from desperation! Trying to grow miltoniopsis is perhaps the hardest thing I've ever done. I just got my hands on a precious Miltoniopsis Andrea West only to have it die 2 weeks later... TWO WEEKS!!! D: and I used to think it was just me not providing the low temps it requires. It doesn't matter where it came from, what supplier, from the store or from the internet every single milt I've had succumbs to brown rot (psedumonas ssp.) they instantly begin to yellow at the center vein at the bottom of the plant then progresses to the whole bulb. They turn orange with a strange spicy-rotten small to them. kinda like fishy-apple pie-ish idk. in bark, in leca, in spagh, or mounted no matter what they do the exact same thing. It's so heartbreaking. If there's ANYONE who's had easy success with these please share your secrets because I just can't keep forking money over for dead meat :/ hopefully some of you hot climate peeps can chime in thanks
