Vanda with Fusarium wilt

[Monkey_Man61]

I think my vanda has Fusarium wilt what can I do for it also would a copper sulfate fungicide help it?

Here are two sites which have info on treating orchid diseases. I use a copper-based fungicide on my fruit trees but have not tried it on orchids. Good luck!

I tried the copper sulfate fungicide and will post if anything happens

I'd toss it. Fusarium can spread rapidly and destroy a lot of plants. Hopefully you've isolated the plant. Good luck.

It is actually working, over night the wilting leaves regained there green and have lost a lot of the yellowing

OK all the roots except one shriveled so I cut them then I cut the wilting leaves and then I put it in a pot with spaggnim moss and bagged it.
