Thanks for your input, it seems I was right about it being too much water. The air flow they have is great, however - a constant breeze day and night. Curse the humidity here, rainy season sucks.

Never heard of that before now, seems we only get the blue/green stuff here in Mexico. Are there any other alternatives? We have an anti-fungal powder (Captan) which we use when transplanting / making divisions -- would that be adequate?

It's an epidendrum; we have a couple of these mildly affected, too - would rubbing alcohol be best for these, too?

Thanks ever so much for your help
