Are These Plant Infected With Virus
 

Hi All
Need your advise whether these plant of mine are infected with virus or not.

Thanks

It all looks more like water damage to me. Are these plants sprayed with water or rained on and then sit wet for a long time? I would cut off some of the very damaged leaves to new healthy growth and treat the cut ends with cinnamon. They could be harboring bacteria or fungus in the damaged tissue.
They should have some good moving air also.
Hopefully others will weigh in with an opinion.

You will never know for sure unless you test. Cant tell by looking....Jean

I absolutely agree. However, your plants look as if they may have an infestation of spider mite. If you run a leaf between your thumb and first finger do you come up with a chalky residue on your fingers?

I agree with Silken, it looks more like a fungus problem. I don't see any evidence of virus. If you have a fungicide, you should use it.

The leaves in the first three pictures look like fungal or viral, flowers look like machenical/water/viral, the last plant-salt burn, sunburn, viral, fungal, nothing.

I'm just giving out my thoughts as to some possibilities.

Again, you cannot tell whether plants are virused or not by just looking at them although some look almost certain to have virus and some show no symtoms or whatsoever.

Yours don't look particularly virused, but then again, if you want to know for sure and these plants are important to you, you want to get them tested.

Fingers crossed!

I don't think any of the plants look like it's viral. The first looks like fungal spotting, the blooms look like they have water damage (virus appears as color break streaks or deformations) and the last plant looks like it has a fungal/bacteria issue.

Do you get the entire plant wet when you water everything? To me it looks like a bunch of plants that often get wet or are exposed to high humidity, with low air movement.

Hi All
Thank you so much to all of you for the reply.
Whatever you guys mentioned was correct.
I do have a terrible infestation of spider mites on all my orchid. I get rid of spider mites by spraying water on the leaves. I don't like to use chemical as I stay in apartment.

As for fungus is there any organic fungicide or homemade remedy for fungus?

Garden sulfur powder would help. there are likely other sprays or powders available in your country.

Physan is good but we don't get much of that here in Canada. Not sure what you can get.

I'm not sure you can eradicate spider mite simply by water. You may have to use something.

Hi
Never see Physan in Malaysia.
Is this organic fungicide?

I use a powerful spray of water to get rid of mites and other insect.

Can sulfur cure root rot as well?
