What's wrong with me? - P. lueddemanniana

[Phyrex]

Does anyone know what's wrong with this plant? It looks a little funky and I don't want it to contaminate other plants?

[King_of_orchid_growing:)]

Don't know. I have suspicions that it's viral. Again, not sure.

You might want to isolate and get it tested.

It doesn't look like a fungal disease.

So the other choice is bacterial.

Where did you buy this? And for how long?

The other Phals look fine...hmmm...

In the meantime, maybe throw some rubbing alcohol on the leaves. That's leaves only! Don't let the alcohol get to the roots.

Keep doing everyday until those spots dry up.

thar fungus - i would if i were you, take it away from your other chids, and cut away the yellow, give the cuts some cinimon and try to rescue it that way.
i had the same thing with a hybrid - it recovering now - it has taken 3 mounth and its now starting to put out a new leaf

I would also think fungus more so than virus.
Cutting off the diseased part and treating with either an anti-fungal or cinnomon would be reasonable.
If you have access to testing with viral test strips, that would provide further information to run with.

Hey,
I would cut back those leaves in question. It has been cold lately for Vancouver maybe the leaves were too close to the cold window glass? The rest of your plant looks great.

It is a fungal problem commonly called Phyllostic leaf spot from the fungi Phyllostictina capitalensis.

Cut out the bad area as it speads rapidly. A major portion of your newest growth is infected. If new growth develops without disease it will survive.

I would cut the leaf down to the lowest yellow part. I had do do that with my pulchra, and it's doing okay now.
