Aerangis modesta black dots on leaves

I've only had my Aerangis modesta for a few weeks and shortly after bringing it home I discovered black dots on the lowest leaf. The leaf eventually shriveled a bit and died. Then the next leaf up...

Mounting moss on walls

I'm trying to figure out how to mount moss on the back wall of my orchid case. Do you just tie it there or do you need to have something behind it to give it some nutrients? Maybe some kind of mesh...

I was afraid it was bugs of some kind :(.

I've been straying them down with a neem oil mixture. I'll have to see if I can find something more effective at the orchid show this weekend.

Well I've got the ends in the water now with the rest lying on damp sphagnum. They were looking even worse after some time just lying on the moss, so I'll try it the other way now. Hopefully it's...
