This is a strong seedling that showed disease two or three months ago; after treatment, the affected seedling was lost, but the disease did not spread, and the remaining growth was normal with no recurrence
The treatment process is simple and effective
Medicine: chloramphenicol eye drops (available at pharmacies, inexpensive)
Application method one: when a new shoot or new seedling shows disease, pull out the new shoot or the new seedling's central leaf, then put one or two drops of chloramphenicol eye drops on the wound; to be safe, apply for two consecutive days
Pulling out the new shoot or the new seedling's central leaf has two benefits: first, it creates a channel for the medicine, and second, it creates a wound for the medicine
Application method two: when a mature or old seedling shows disease and the central leaf is hard to pull out while the pseudobulb is relatively sturdy, you can use a syringe to inject the medicine into the pseudobulb.
After applying the medicine, keep it dry for one or two days, then normal care can be resumed..
Rot is caused by pathogens entering the pseudobulb, and it progresses very fast, so generally by the time an external medicine gets into the pseudobulb and takes effect, the pathogens have already spread inside the pseudobulb and killed the plant; treating with the wound and injection methods lets the medicinetake effect immediately so that the rot can be effectively treated, and eye drops are a very clean liquid that can be used as an injectable liquid in plants....
