I think my Vanda tessellata has fusarium... I received it about 3 weeks ago, and since then it has been dropping green leaves from the bottom up, and one of its roots is starting to shrivel. I really do not want to lose this one.
My plan right now is to cut it until I don't see a purple ring, but I am afraid I might end up with a rootless stem. Does anyone have experience with treating this disease?
I don't have experience treating fusarium (my experience with the disease has been mostly trashing infected plants). Hopefully some other members can offer some advice - but in the meanwhile I found this Saving a Vanda Orchid from Fusarium rotPick An Orchid
I think the purple ring is in the stem, not in the roots. I would really like to see a Vanda with confirmed fusarium side-by-side with one with drought damage.
