I would approach the use of Kocide with caution since many epiphytes are especially sensitive to copper compounds - especially at particular pH in solution. Latourea and other Dendrobiums are notorious for showing this and I have seen mature collections of them die quickly from this type of Phototoxicity. There was an article in a past issue of Orchids Magazine on commercial Nobile production that mentioned copper sensitivity in this genus.
