This is not an easy thread for me to publish, but I finally decided to show my orchid leaves' problem here and to read your opinions. I suppose that nobody really likes to show the downside of his orchid collection!
I took the opinion of a luxembourgish specialist (?) who told me that those rings/spots on the leaves I showed him were no disease but maybe caused by dropping of fertilizer-containing water on them. the roof of my lean-to greenhouse is very flat, so concentration of water and dripping is rather usual (unfortunately).
Quite some of my plants of different genera show these symptoms:
Paph hybrid:
underside:
Laelia anceps leaf:
Phrag leaf:
Another Laelia leaf:
Cattleya:
Rhyncholaeliaa digbyana.
Now, what do you think of this? Leaf tissue problem, virus (Cymb.?) or other disease? How to cure or discard?
Thanks for any help
