A Case of Self Sabotage Sometimes I wonder how these things survive in the wild. This guy is in the process of decapitating two of its leaves #thaiconstellationmonstera #plantaddict #notsohappyplants #monstera #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Attempt at using dehumidifier water no2. Am I scared of killer fungus 2.0? Heck yes. Am I willing to buy huge amounts of plastic containers when I have "free" distilled water at home and a growing army of hard-working CPs? Nope. I will boil it and see what happens, I guess. Will I let any of my orchids even look at this water from afar, even though it probably no longer contains spores?馃槄馃槄馃槄 noooope. As for the other plants: Wish me luck. And may the CP community excuse my rampant speciesism. I'm sure they will be fine. 馃槄 #carnivorousplants #orchidlovers and possibly #notsohappyplants in the future

Happy Sunday to every Gregger around the globe. Even though I myself am a bit more sober today. I'm still cleaning up after that darned fungus. There are still losses. I just cleaned up my oasis a bit - a very sobering task, seeing how many have gone and need to be deleted/ updated. I lost another miniature orchid this week (a cattleya this time, but I'm quite certain, it was the same issue though). My grocery store phal with the most delightful green white coloring is on its way out and my "heirloom" phal is losing its battle. I think I'v been actually able to cut away all of the fungus it seems, but there is just too little left of her to grow now. My lueddemanniana phal is still struggling, and I doubt she will shake it in the end. And another cat that could maybe have made it, just lost the last growth point to rot. Ah and the rootless strong mini cat that was finally getting roots again (bright green and strong) after the mites had decimated her, now is showing the same signs of that stupid fungus on those brand new roots. And worst of all, pinky has been showing some signs of inhibited growth, the way the others did, before they started to deteriorate. Please let it not be so. So, once again, I post in honor of the lost or soon to be lost. I've been quiet about it in the last weeks, but the war is still raging - with lots of victims. #inremembrance #orchidlovers #notsohappyplants

So confused

How do I get rid of these parasites?
@MusicalRedmint avatar @MusicalRedmint 路 4w
Sigh. Mealies. And a huge infection, too (hopefully on only one plant). Does it ever end? Or at least get less? #orchidlovers #notsohappyplants #pestcontrol

It's time. I'm about to lose the killer fungus fight trying to rescue my one special orchid. Not special per see, but inherited from my grandmother, so very special to me. Two more are in the ICU after I cut away almost all of their remaining stem and leaves - the same treatment the special one got. I had to act because finally I was brave enough to just cut on suspicion - something I never thought I'd do - and saw the damage inside. The Orchid was strong a few weeks ago. With 5 leaves. 2 yellowed from the bottom, which is nothing to cause me alarm, but since it was about that time that I discovered the fungus, I monitored it more closely... but without seeing something particularly suspicious apart from a small blackened spot where one of the roots entered. Nothing else. No yellowing, nothing. Well, I've taken a look at that tiny spot, and I felt like a dentist, opening up a seemingly fine tooth with a small blemish just to discover mayhem within. The whole stem inside the lowest leaf was affected. Cutting the rot away meant losing one more leaf. And even after that, the rot went through the center of the stem further up. So. Basically, I now have a rootless weakened orchid with a big wound in the stem in a contaminated grow space and maybe no place left on the stem to grow roots. Even if, thank goodness, the crown is still intact, there seems to be no rot left and she still has two leaves. The other two didn't fare half as well. I'll keep them until they are 100%dead, but that is just a formality at this point. Please send some positive thoughts ur way. We'll need it. #orchidlovers #notsohappyplants #phalaenopsisorchid

Hi, my #hoya people. Any ideas? She was growing great, until I noticed the runner yellowing from the leaf node onwards, then the leaf developed those spots. I am pretty certain I had another one with a similar infection from which it spread. Not extremely close to each other, which let's me think spores might have been involved. What do you think? Fungal? Bacterial? Viral? Which measures (apart from isolation of course), would you implement? The water is just remaining from HP treatment (which seemed to have had no effect), no worries, I will dry it. Sigh It's always something. I really do not want to lose this one and it has been standing close to several others as well. #hoyahangout #pestcontrol #notsohappyplants

Tragedy struck today. My Opuntia fell off the porch rail when sudden heavy winds hit, and his new arm broke 馃槶. There is a tiny baby on top of that too ... I'm going to let it callous over and pot it by itself, and hopefully it will root. 馃. In slightly funnier news, the winds also blew my Monkey Tail around, but it ended up catching itself by using its tail! 馃槻馃馃榿 #ultrakoreanfir #happyplants #notsohappyplants

Still in time for my Sunday (almost) death post (not under the inremembrance tag. I am too worn out to remember it properly.) It's just one more among the very very #notsohappyplants and brings with it portents for the rest of my collection. It's my first confirmed sympodial-death-by-killer-fungus. I had hoped, hoped, hoped against reason that that fungus really would just destroy all my phals, and that's that. I had been on the lookout how it would affect the sympodials and apart from some suspicious stunted growth and thrown leaves on two very tiny ones, as of yet, I hadn't been sure. Well, one healthy laelia seedling has just shown me how it works. Basically, it's the same as with the phals. Enters through the roots basically invisibly, none of the plant shows damage on the outside. Rotting the inside, where the roots first touch and working itself silently through the plant. (I've removed the outer layer in the photo. All that rot had been hidden before) As of yet, the plant is still alive but small as it is, it's more or less beyond hope. I hate this fungus so much. And since it got to one, I do not even want to imagine how many other sympodials are affected. (Best guess already one oncidium and one cattleya and one dendrobium keiki at the very least, from what I see). And in the meantime, the Liodoro and the Sogo Bianca have also died on me by now, and four more phals are struggling, though I treat them with all I've got. I'm so tired of this. #orchidlovers
