Ok with the help of the Orchid Board members I realize that I have a scale insect problem on my plants.
However I live in NY and cannot get any pesticides that contain Imidacloprid or a product Talstar one shipped or purchased to my state.
I did find a pesticide that contained Malthion in it. Does that work to remove the scale problem?
I don't know what to do I don't want to loose my collection I have had some of these plants for a long time.
