Please would you advise me on my Orchids. I have five plants & always managed to get them to flower but one I
bought had a sticky white stuff on the leaves which spreads to the flowers! It has spread to all my other Orchids except one, which I am keeping away from the other plants! What can I use to get rid of this?

Sounds like mealy bug...try any systemic insecticide such as one of the bug-guns. I put mine outside for a few hours and give them a spray and that's usually enough.

Good luck

you can dab them with methylated spirit on a cotton bud depends on how bad they are . They can also lurk on the walls near your plants .
