Sorry for the confusion the Bellina doesn't really have cell colapse, more chlorotic spots I'd say, photos are in the first post. The cell collapse is happening on 3 complex hybrids I have in the same growing area as the Bellina. Reading about chlorotic spots led me to think the Bellina could be virused with PhCSV aka Taiwan Potyvirus.. And then I started reading more about that and found that Potyvirus often may look as cold damage or cell colapse.. the last image is from a Phal V3 that started having yellow spots that quickly turned to cell colapse.my problem is that a full virus test is over 100$ and a new Bellina is 25$.. scrapping 3 hybrids and my Bellina would still be cheaper then testing it. I did the Agdia immunostrips for orchids on all 4 plants and results were negative.
