Red coloration on Paphiopedilum - Suggestions please
Hello Guys,
Please help me to solve this.. Photos are attached.
Recently I noticed the Red/brown colouration on my Paph. This paph is not identified, but a species one according to seller who collected from forest.
I am taking utmost care for this as it is from wild. It was growing good from last 9 months, but I observed this yesterday. I noticed small white (tiny) insects crawling on the media (coco peat + clayballs + humus). And immediately started inspecting every inch of the plant and I noticed this coloration.
I checked with the roots, they are good (strong and fluffy), it is throwing new roots too. I treated with Sevin. And then after some time with Physan+KLN+proteket (.25 ml per liter) and MSU (50ppm).
Gave KLN as I removed the plant from pot, to check health, so roots got little disturbed.
I do not see any insects now, and I cleaned every inch of plant with rubbing alcohol (felt it reduced some coloration).
I have two plants of this Paph, I am waiting for it to bloom to get identified. I suspect it is Dhruyui or some rare ones.
Thanks in advance ..,
Kaarthiik
