Yeah. When the roots are growing and the plant is spiking, sometimes what looks ugly is only a bruise.

Throw out the potting material and try to get some Malathion. It works, just be careful not to leave it on the plant too long. Rinse it after about an hour or so. And dip the plant to get the roots...

any ideas on this NOID?

It's been in bloom since Valentine's day. I got it from a roadside stand. I did not check to see if it had a tag.
Amazing bloomer.

I know it is a Dendrobium.

Nice box John. Mine is made from a 58 ct plastic storage container and a computer fan. I can get away with the smaller fan due to the smaller outlets of my box.
