my mini orchid sprouted around 15 flowers on 3 new stalks last week.  :wub:  each sprout usually lasts 2 months.

Mine grew fast and started to branched......sakali dont know what think started to make web underneath the leaves. All died soon after......haiz.

spider mites. under the leaves have fine mist like webs?

 

they proliferate in dry windy conditions. suck the leaves dry. they are really tmd.

 

need to cut off the affected leaves/branches to prevent spread.

 

solution but not perfect:

  1. buy neem oil solution from nursery - expensive
  2. DIY neem oil solution - add neem oil to water in a spray bottle and spray
  3. DiY - a few drops of handsoap, and some vege oil in a bottle of water and spray (effective)
  4. DIY - a few drops of handsoap and some vinegar in water and spray (effective but vinegar smell can be overpowering for first 5 min)

i did #1 before. Expensive.

Did #3 - it works but the oil sticks to walls etc, leaving a stain.

currently doing #4 - It works also.
