Penicillin, streptomycin, and virus spirit injections mixed together, has both bactericidal effect and the effect of inhibiting and killing viruses, each bottle of injection diluted at 2000 times water for spraying, spray once every five days.
All the above chemicals must be sprayed three times consecutively as one treatment course.
Regardless of which chemical is used, in summer and autumn when temperatures are high, choose to spray on sunny mornings or evenings, avoiding spraying during the high temperatures at noon, so as to prevent the chemicals from damaging the leaves. In winter and spring, choose to spray at noon on sunny days when the temperature is relatively high. The chemicals can effectively penetrate into the bodies of insects, pathogens, and viruses, and are easily absorbed by orchid leaves, effectively achieving the purpose of prevention and control. When applying chemicals, it should be done when the potting soil is relatively dry; if the potting soil is too wet, the efficacy is poor, and avoid applying chemicals on rainy days. (Chen Jisheng)
