Hi all, I've been having trouble with my young cattleya seedlings (only 1-4 months out of flask) getting ravaged by some tiny little bug that looks like a little black dot off a newsprint. I haven't got a 'scope at home so that's the best I can do. When I wipe them off with my finger, they feel gritty, so they've got some substance to them. The damage to the leaf is silvery and pitted, and often leads to the death of the leaf if not the seedling. I've tried a number of things, but can't seem to discourage or kill them. I would really appreciate some suggestions as they've just about wiped out my compots.
Looking over my plants in horror, Julia _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) orchids@orchidguide.com http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
