I seem to be experiencing some sort of rust or other fungus on my plants
Other than Physan what other commonly available systemic or non systemic fungicides are you guys using succesfully?

I have had success with Phyton 27. It is a systemic. Good Luck!

I've been using a product called Serenade for my minor fungal attacks. It's an organic that contains a bacteria as its active.

I meant does Anyone use Sulpher, or I read a couple posts about peroxide.
It seems alot of fungicides are being banned in Canada and you can't find too many of them around.
On the shelf yesterday at Rona there was a copper compuond, funginex and sulpher.

Phyton 27 is a copper based fungicide, I believe. I have used Funginex successfully on other plants (roses, blooming trees) but have not tried it on orchids. I have never used sulphur. Hydrogen peroxide is great for eliminating fungus gnats or fuzzy fungus growth on top of the medium. I spray the top of the medium of all of my plants with it, and I have also used it for crown rot as a soak, or poured it directly into the crown. I don't think it will hurt your plants if used in moderation, and it is cheaper than most fungicides; but I am not yet convinced it works better than a systemic fungicide for serious advanced problems.

I have used a product called Daconil on fungal problems on orchids without any adverse effects.

A light misting of the leaves with a liquid drug used, for instance, against athlete's foot, usually does the job without any harm to the plant, I also successfully use some on seedlings of begonias, to prevent them from rotting (Fusarium). But of course do make a test first !
