Virused Tolumnia?

[Phal grower]

As the title states. What do you all think?

I don't know Tolumnias so I don't know what that plant should look like, but I know it shouldn't look like that. A lot of people post here about possibly virused orchids but this may be the first one I've seen that frightens me. I'd wait for the opinions of others who are far wiser than I, but my initial thought is that plant's gotta go.

Ditto that. That plant is sick...out with it !

I do not know if the orchid's issues are caused by a virus, a fungus or bacteria but I would keep it away from the other orchids until the cause can be determined.
Virus in orchids is not always easy to determine but if your plant has not been as vigorous in growth and blooming lately, I would be suspicious. Otherwise, I would just keep the orchid isolated from the others and observe the orchid and see what happens.

Thanks jk, Doll and Leaf. I don't think it looks right either. I've only had the plant for a few months and I was waiting to see what the new leaf looked like. Unfortunately it has the same blotching look.

I don't grow these so I really have no idea how virus usually exhibits itself in these.

I'm not sure if this is a virus. To me it almost looks like mechanical/puncture damage. Is there any way these may have gone through a tumble or some rough handling lately?

Wipe it down with a moist paper towel, some plants that I've had mite damage on had similar markings

I can't speak for the spots and blotches, but the red color on the leaves indicate too much light. so many things can cause spots and blotches.

Its in the bin. I tried for a long time but the new leaf told the truth I think. No damage, but the same mottling look. Thanks all I just hate tossing rescue plants.
