What's eating my miltoniopsis 'augres'?

Miltoniopsis 'Augres', a cool-growing pansy orchid hybrid cultivated indoors, faces its greatest threat from spider mites, especially in heated homes with dry air. Mealybugs and fungus gnats can also be problems, the latter when bark mix stays too wet. Good airflow, cool temperatures, and careful watering prevent most issues.

Pale stippling and webbing on leaf undersides; leaves lose color and vigor in warm dry air Boost humidity, rinse foliage, and apply neem oil or insecticidal soap weekly for 3–4 cycles

White waxy clusters at leaf joints and pseudobulb bases; sticky honeydew attracting sooty mold Dab with alcohol swab, follow up with weekly neem oil spray; check new growth closely

Larvae damage fine roots in overly moist bark medium; adults are a nuisance around the plant Allow the potting medium to dry slightly between waterings; use yellow sticky traps; apply Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) drench
