Blacks Spots - Zygopetalum Leaves

These leaf spots on this zygopetalum don't seem to be spreading. Do you think it is just bacterial spotting? Do you recommend spraying with Soluble Copper?

Do you think this is just sunburn - or an infection?

Do you think this is just a sunburn or an infection? It was indoors all winter and is now outdoors on a screened porch.

Yes, that makes sense. They've been in a south-facing window. However, direct light is blocked by a nearby
building. And, I see the dotted pattern on the leaves - spider mites.

Disease, Dehydration or Sunburn

Do you think these Phalaenopsis orchid leaves simply show signs of dehydration and/or sunburn, or do you think there's some sort of disease going on?

Water

Do you think it might be a watering issue - getting really thirsty during bud development?

Ray, can you mix kelpak with fertilizer and do it all at once? Or is it better to apply separately?

Spray down

I'm guessing by "spray down," you mean with water - a shower?

wet or dry potting mixes and when to water post potting

Hello, I have a few questions about potting and potting mixes.

First, do you think potting with a wet or dry potting mix is a simple matter of preference, or does it impact your orchids?

Phalaenopsis Mini Mark 'Holm' - cutting the flower spike

I have a question about the flower stalk on Phal Micro Mark Holm. Do you cut it down after it gets really long, or do you let the stalk grow as long as buds form, like the Phal Bellina?

Thank you!

I was a little freaked out when I saw these little creatures. I'm hoping they're harmless - all part of my little orchid ecosystem of health and happiness. :-)

Thank you for chiming in!

I hope they are springtails! My orchid was re-potted about 3 months ago. I just looked in my humidity trays (which were dried up) and didn't see too much. Next time I water I'll look and see what...

Unhappy Please identify these bugs

This morning, I watered my Phalaenopsis orchid and noticed these little bugs that came out of the drainage holes. Can you tell me what they are? I'm hoping they are soil mites???
