At the leaves are black dots. What should you do?
In most cases, black dots are the result of fungal (Fusarium, Botrytis) or bacterial (Erwinia, Pseudomonas) infections. The difference is difficult to determine, in any case, isolate the affected plants. Fungal infections treated with fungicides (Dithane M45, Antracol), with bacteria-infected plants, however, rather discard, because the curative use of bactericidal often insufficiently effective. In many cases, the spots are due to natural aging process and death of older leaves, which is normal and inevitable.
On the flowers are black dots. What should you do?
Gently tissue flowers are an easy target for aggressive fungus (Botrytis), causing black spots on the flowering leaves. Use of fungicides is meaningless, because the flowers are permanently damaged. Phenomenon can best be avoided if the plants do not spray after the flowers, especially the dangerous mist after sunset when the air temperature drops. So, we need to avoid high air humidity (dew) in combination with low temperatures (below 16 ˚ C).

It is the cultivation of orchids in a little different way. Instead, to be placed in pots, they stretched to a different basis. The base can take a piece of wood, basket, plastic root, which is designed for that purpose, or anything else. Most time use the wood, which must be of sufficient quality that it does not break. It may not be too smooth because roots difficult to stick. The most appropriate is the Acacia, cork, and the vine. Attach to the orchid by lacks, raffia or pant hose. In doing so, be careful not to break the roots. Next to fasten moss. If you collect moss in nature, wet it for some time in the water to get rid of tiny animals.
