Phal. Mini Mark 'Holm' with no virus?
Hi all, I just got a bunch of my plants tested for viruses and unfortunately some that I really like came out positive. One of them is my Mini Mark 'Holm' which came out positive for ORSV 
Does anyone have a Mini Mark that they have gotten tested and is free of virus? If so, could you please let me know where you got it?
Thanks! |

My guess is that since you are looking for a phal its going to be very hard to find one without a virus.
I feel your pain I have not had my orchids tested my guess is that all the ones I have right now have some viruses. This thread reminds me that I need to get them tested.

Thanks Hannah, yeah I know how it goes with Phals and I really wasn't that surprised at all of the other ones that came up positive but for this one in particular I wasn't expecting it.

Adriana, I'm just curious: did any of your phals test negative?

Haha yes, a lot of them did, thank goodness, otherwise I'd be going out of my mind. |

Hmmm, I'm intrigued considering a certain ne'er do well shrinking Mini Mark I have languishing in my collection for the past couple years. Fortunately, I have another more recently acquired MM that is doing fine so far and bloomed nicely on 2 spikes shortly after I got it a few months ago. The latter was a replacement for a third one in bloom, which I had nurtured back from poor health and which was ultimately offed by a careless (drunk) household member knocking over one of my orchid tables.
Is it common knowledge, that I wasn't aware of, that Mini Marks are virused and if so which virus(es) (if any besides ORSV, cited by the original poster) and which cultivar(s)?
Maybe I'll send a piece of leaf in for tests.

Uh Oh.... this thread has me worried!!
I have a Phal. Mini Mark that I got back in July. It bloomed beautifully, put out a couple new leaves and then got these weird yellowish splotches which have progressed to pitted areas in the last month...
Included some pics... any ideas??
