I have these crosses grown from flasks, and they are about two year old, suddenly I see blackening of leaves starting from the tip and spreading to the entire leaf, is it a fungal disease, what is the problem and the treatment can anyone throw light on these.

You might want to read up on damping off disease on plant seedlings.
This far advanced case means that the plants are goner unfortunately.

I’ve had this in my house. I cut off the bad stuff, doused them in Physan, let them dry, then doused again, let them dry, then doused them in alternating solutions of KelpMax and MegaThrive. Oh, forgot: treated the cuts with “Dragon’s Blood.” Then after 3 weeks, I fed with dilute CalMag, then resumed the usual k-lite feedings All the plants (P. fairrieanum) have survived for two years.
