# Hey, all. Planta says this is possibly rust fungus but idk if I…

_Posted by Amy on 2025-04-22_

Hey, all. Planta says this is possibly rust fungus but idk if I agree. It’s a new plant and was brought to me this way. It is newly potted in unglazed ceramic pot, organic soil with perlite and some small orchid bark. Bottom of pot is dry, top 2 inches are moist but not overly so. No evidence of bugs that I can see. It did just shoot this pretty bloom out today…  
Any ideas appreciated.
