Phenomenal in every way

Unfortunately I have never found it any smaller myself.

Yes thinning the herd makes all the sense in the world. Quality over quantity.

D'oh! (Facepalm)

Yes from my experience this is true. I have burned plants in the past using Physan. The EFG nursery owner told me the same thing which is why he prefers Zerotol. Plus Physan states it will cause blindness if it gets in the eyes. I told this to Norman Fang at orchids.com his response was, "Oh...

Have you tried other fungicides for Rhizoctonia like: Cleary 3336 Thiomyl Zyban It doesn’t look like Rizolex is approved for orchids/ornamentals

What was the name of the fungicide that worked?

Have you checked it for a virus?

All of these pictures from different users show Rhizoctonia to me except @Kate Boyce-Miles last two images that do appear to be bacterial. If you go to the Hark Orchideen website the rusted neck looks EXACTLY like Rhizoctonia. This comes from poor air circulation at the roots and being too moist...

Honestly Ray where would we all be without you? Thank you for your insights. Will be testing it out against Physan.

Lol

Oh jeez you're totally right Ray! It's called Zerotol HC. Undiluted it's 5.34% Hydrogen Peroxide and 1.36% Peroxyacetic acid. It asks to be diluted to 1:150. Oh dear that seems so weak. How can this possibly be better than over the counter 3% Hydrogen peroxide? 🤷🏽‍♂️

Ray I'm seeing it at 5% man.

That's a great point! I haven't done this myself but have just heard of it's benefits.

Oh please, you know us Japanese need to be near death to give up. 😉I'm hapa and if I can do it so can you. 👍🏼

Thanks for the input all! Either low K or high K. Liquid feed or just Nutricote. I will experiment with all variables eventually and report back my findings. Finding out how to grow better orchids is just as interesting as the plants themselves. Even with seemingly similar conditions people...

Always inspiring to come across a master. So many growths at one time boggles my mind.

It looks like EFG really grows incredible plants. So I asked a lot of culture questions. His responses for Paphs: • Fertilizer: Peter's 20-10-20 at 200 to 400 ppm twice a week. Flush ever 4th watering. • Fungal infections: Zerotol active ingredient Hydrogen Peroxide at a higher dosage than...

Unfortunately Sam isn't getting back to me at all even if it's relating to new orders. I called with no answer I hope he's ok. So finally followed up with these folks and talked to George seems like a great guy. In short they no longer contract out Sam's plants and George doesn't know what he...

Cool will check out this lead thanks! - Russ
