Please help to identify the disease

[Witcherty]

Dear all, please help on the below if you can have any ideas! My friend has mini orchids collection and keeping them in a terrarium. all was good and great for several years already, but now she has following simptoms on the plants. she did the pic of some plants so I put links here. Plants are worser as she says almost every day and we have problems in identifying the threat. if anyone can help with solution or reason of the problem please help. apparently she has almost all plants in terraiums infected.

Oh no!
Im just a newbee compared to many other OBs, but i really think this looks like some kind of virus... And it strenghtens my suspisions when all the plants in the terrarium are infected...
I dont know enough to be able to give you any advises, but i belive theres many knowledgebl people here that may know what you should do!
But keep the infected aerea as sterile as you can, and dont handle other plants without sterilizing youre hands after handeling the sick ones...
Hope other with more knowledge will turn in here!

Good luck!

Thank you Lene Th. we were thinking about virus but what to do in this case? if it is still possible to help??? Maybe anyone else can help us?

As mentioned before, im just a newbee, but i have heard that with virus, theres actually not mutch to do, other than keep an eye on the plants, and keep them avay from other chids to prevent it from spreading...

Ive aso heard that the only thing to do is burn the infected plants...

But, i hope others wil tun in, im dont really know, just bumping the tread...

That looks like it could be contamination of your water supply . Have the PH checked it may too alkaline or loaded with minerals. Also have you changed your fertilizer or used insecticides recently some insecticides are not suitable for orchids and strong fertilizers are also not suitable . Check for bugs as well especially under the leaves . I doubt if it is a virus
