Green Spots on Orchids


Question
Hi-

I have green spots on my white orchid and I'm worried it is a fungus. This is my first orchid. Please how do I get rid of them.

-Jeff

Answer
Hi Jeff,

You didn't mention what kind of orchid you have but to answer your question, I believe I do not need to know that.  

Without actually seeing the green spots, I suspect they may have been caused by an insect bite.  Not quite sure what kind of insect it might be, possibly aphids or other sucking insect that feasted on the unopened buds.  Such insect bites are usually not harmful other than defacing the beautiful flowers.  

Hope this helped.
