Sick Cattleya Flowers (Brown marks)
 

Hi all

After think I had grown this cattleya properly, the flowers were a disaster. Not sure if i accidently got water on them or the plant has a fungal disease etc.

Any comments?

Cheers

On the first pci it's possible to see that the browns spots are also on the leave of the plant!

This plant has a very strong infection... Fungi or bacteria or virus? I do not know.. But ifit is a this stage that all leave and flowers are so severely affected, I think the only option you have is to burn the whole plant! or you risk to have all other plants infected!

sorry for giving the bad news... :(

Wow..thanks for that.

Pretty drastic but worse still if other plants get infected.

Not worth the risk.

Cheers

i would put it in a plastic bag and toss it.....burning it could spread the infection thru the smoke.....gl with your other plants
