An appressorium is formed and a penetration peg penetrates the leaf surface. [1] From there, hyphae grow throughout the leaf and infects all plant tissues. [1] While this pathogen enters through the leaf, the disease is caused by root rot that causes symptoms of foliar blight. The mycelium gives rise to chlamydospores and oospores. [1]

[2] Once an orchid is infected, the virus spreads throughout the infected plant in a number of weeks. [4] Control measures may include sanitizing pruning equipment between ...

These orchids grow flower spikes, leaves, and aerial roots from a single growth point on that stem. Phalaenopsis, or moth orchids , fall into this category, as do vanda orchids.
