Hello everyone,
Okay since the last time I posted about my mite problem that I had. A new problem has arisen.
I got these chlorotic blotches that are appearing on some of my plants my Oncidiums and Ondontoglossums. Mind you not all plants have this blotching, but recently I picked up a new Cymbidium and these have appeared over the last few days at my house. The reason why I say at my house is I do not keep the Cymbidium with the rest of my collection, this guy is kept outside unless it is freezing. So I'm just trying to figure out if this is actually a pest or disease. At first I was thinking it was scale but after many treatments it just does not seem to go away. I've tried all the usual methods rubbing alcohol wiping down the leaves cotton swab and some natural pesticides you know, Neem, clove oil, the Dr. Bronner's insecticidal soap method and i'm not sure now what to do.
I will go ahead and post some pics and maybe I can get to feel from the replies of what it might be.
Please feel free to chime in on any info that you can give me. And all responses are greatly appreciated.
This is the plant in question
