🚨Orchid Emergency | Identifying & Defeating Mysterious Pests on My Desiccating Orchid #ninjaorchids

#pests #mystery #orchids
This video is dealing with a bit of an emergency. I've noticed something alarming happening with one of my orchids, and I need your help to identify these mysterious pests that are wreaking havoc on it's structures.
In this video, I'll show you the troubling signs that my orchid has been exhibiting. The pseudobulbs are desiccating, and new growths seem to be under siege by some pests that have all the characteristics of scale BUT, this is a different caliber of scale, IF it is indeed scale. I'm genuinely concerned about the health of my orchid, and I'm sure many of you have faced similar situations. Now, here's why I had to wait before addressing this problem. The orchid is weak, and I was waiting for new roots to develop. New roots are essential for the orchid's recovery, and I didn't want to disturb the plant until it was ready. But now, with the new growths growing new and healthy looking roots, it's time to take action. I'll carefully take the orchid out of its pot and investigate the root zone. We'll look for any signs of pests that might be causing this decline. Throughout the video, I'll share my thoughts and observations, and I encourage you to join me in this investigation.
