Another dud plant


We got this cirrhopetalum as well from the orchid club meeting like the stupid Brassias. Someone was giving away bare roots pieces of a bulbophyllum which I can't remember. We planted it right away on a 4" flat basket with sphagnum like we do most of our bulbophyllums. It seems to have a serious fungus problem. There were some black marks on it, but they are really bad now. I sprayed it with the copper stuff but that doesn't seem to have helped. We are going to pitch it. I want to save the flat basket though because it's new. We will bake it in the sun to get rid of any cooties. It is also not making any new growths right now. If it were growing I might be less inclined to pitch it.
