Phragmipedium Petit Queillette

[Djthomp28]

I am excited and sad about this bloom. This is the first flowering and is showing potential. This may be the last blooming also.

I noticed that it is suffering from a bacterial infection yesterday. I removed all the leaves and dosed with hydrogen peroxide and cinnamon. The damage was extensive and the plant only had one small growth. So, I am not too hopeful.

Glad that I got to see it bloom through.

Oh no! I really like the deep pink which is harder to find on the miniature phrags.

Oh my, what a shame. Have you tried Dragon's
Blood?

 

[Djthomp28]

I have not tried it. I don't have any either. Based one this incident, I will be adding it to my tool box. I just don't know if I will get it in time for this one.

Darlene, you might consider adding Inocucor Garden Solution to your irrigation routine, as it will basically prevent all such issues. It's also a curative...

I would not have cut the leaves all off. Hard to photosynthesize without them.

Thanks for the comments.

The leaves had to go. The bacterial rot was at the crown with that water soaked spots were throughout the base. There are a couple of active eyes at the base. Hopefully they will continue to sprout.

Here are two more from the same flask. I am waiting for the 5 others in spike to make an appearance now.

Definitely like that cross and grex . Was it from Bill?

Get some Dragon's Blood, it can stop crown rot.
