All right you brilliant knowledgeable community, I need your help. This is my incredibly vigorous zygopetalum- the newest leaf from the (blooming) immature growth has all these black spots on it. I suspected they were caused by water trapped in the tight layers of the pseudobulb as it was growing and watered haphazardly in the nursery. The leaf with only a few of these spots had them when I bought the plant- it was then the most recent growth. Then there is the newest growth that *seems* problem free so far. So⦠for any of you that have dealt with this type of orchid, or these spots before⦠are they bacterial or fungal? Are they caused from water droplets trapped in the growths? I donāt *think* they are active infections, nor do they seem to be spreading or increasing⦠but ARE they active? Do I have to treat with a fungicide? š¬ Is it something thatās going to spread to the healthy new growth, or now that Iām caring for it properly, will the new leaves be less unsightly?
