Hi all, one of my dendrobiums has had yellow, brittle leaves for a while now, and I noticed that the psuedobulbs were brown and rubbery at their base. I decided the plant was a goner and cut off the most affected pseudobulb. Most of it was black and spongey:
I cut the other pseudobulbs afterwards, and they were a brownish green and looked like they were in the process of drying out.
It's obviously too late to save this Dendrobium, but I'm seeing something similar on an Encyclia that I like quite a bit. The base of its new, mature pseudobulb turned brown and completely separated the bulb from the plant. I cut further up the bulb and noticed the brown was spreading into the rest of the growth. Some of the other growths appear to be developing some brown at their base as well.
What is this, and can anything be done to stop it?
