Long neglected mite victim
Hello, dear forum
Today I received this badly neglected noid cattleya from a friend getting rid of every plant (apparently plant burn-out is a thing). It has been sucked by many mites, as it was covered with white tiny specks that were easy to remove with a cloth. This plant looks suspicious and I don't know what to make of (or with) it. I did dunk it in a bleach solution as seen elsewhere (on youtube).
Could these black spots be a secondary infection from all the bites or is this doomed (and perhaps virus showing?) and looking forward to some green tree-top pastures?
