Hi my orchid has tiny white spots on the bulb bit, below the leaves and above the roots. But the leaves are fine. Do u know what it could have?

The oblong brown spots are likely to be scale bugs. They are immobile at the adult stage and are drinking sap from your plant. It can be controlled with some diligence. Here is the great link I found on the scale bugs and how to treat your infected plants. http://nathist.sdstate.edu/orchids/pests/scales.htm

white fuzz would be a the fruiting body of a fungus of some sort (ie a tiny mushroom). The first thing I’d try would be to wash the leaves off with lukewarm water real well. Also it may need to be repotted, if the media is old it starts to rot and can cause disease. I would try those first and then if all else fails go to your local garden center and ask for a fungicide, maybe one thats listed for orchids or tropicals.

I have a cymbidium and on the leaves there are oblong brown spots, sorta in the middle of the leaves. Would anyone have a guess on what is causing this. Is it some type of disease or insect etc.??
