Sickly update

Our sick babies are mostly better I think.

The red and yellow mini cattleya still has the brown under it's leaves, but it hasn't been losing any more. I think the virus busted out because it got stressed in the fall then we stressed it more by not watering it because we thought it was fungus. We put it in a window for it to get better sun and have been watering it regularly. It seems to be improving.

Sharry baby never got any worse. After several weeks at home we decided to bring it to the greenhouse. It has liked it there. The new growths have gotten big really fast. It doesn't show any sign of still having problems.

Zygopetalum is also looking fine. It's not doing anything either, but it is winter. I think the crisis is mostly past for the sick things.

A coupe of things got sick at the greenhouse. The coral colored epidendrum got brown spots all over and is turning yellow just like happened to the large growth it had. All we have left are the babies that sprouted. They're going to kick it too, and I think I'm just going to let it. It must have some sort of systemic problem. The mini grammatophyllum scriptum also got brown spots all over its leaves. We brought it home so it wouldn't infect anything else. We haven't treated it or anything. Nothing really seems to be progressing either. We are just waiting to see what happens.
