    DFBD9F56-9B75-4195-B0C2-1A4A2F82B44D.jpeg I have a few large-flowering Maxillarias that are getting their leaves spotted whatever I do. I tried various fungicides, a bactericide, nothing helps. Any suggestions on how to get rid of this problem?

    How strong is the air movement in their spot.

    I was going to ask about air movement, but Lil Duck beat me to it.

    Not super strong, probably could be better. What surprises me is that I have multiple other plants in that area (Epidendrums, Lycastes, Pleurothallids) and none of them are having these symptoms.

    I have noticed the same. Sometimes it is just the maxillarias that are having a problem.
