Default Re: My pathetic orchid :(

Hi Ken,
I notice that dendrobium orchids attract thrips when in flower. I don't know if you have this problem or not but if you do, watch out for them as they may do d**age to the petals. They appear as tiny black bugs with long abdomen. Old plants are also susceptible to mosaic viruses, which can cause disfigured flowers later on.
