Black spots/rings, fungus on Zygopetalum?
3 Attachment(s)
I received this Zygo. Has black spots and in some places halo-like spots. I understand it is a fungus, is it curable, stoppable or will the plant be a goner? The new growth appears well!
I empirically sprayed it with fungicide. Thanks guys! |
It looks like an insect walked along the plant taking bites. If it doesn't spread I wouldn't be alarmed. Zygos like cool temperatures, high humidity, good air circulation and water low in dissolved minerals.
|
Plus, a Zigo without spots isn't a Zigo...well, there are exceptions.:)

Took close ups, some leaves look really bad. Posting front and back pictures.
Thanks! |
Mine looks like that and it has it's own fan, good humidity, and lots of water. They are prone to spotting.
|
Yeppers, concur with all above. If you figure out how to solve it, let us know.
|
My only Zigo had spots in the past but it has none.
Solution was to put it outdoors in the cold and rain...and lots of wind. |
Thanks guys. The same zygo is putting out a flower spike! :lol:

A speaker at our orchid society said 70 F / 20C is warm for most Zygos, and that you can prevent spots by keeping them below that and using very pure water.
