help! Phaius tankervilleae leaf blight?

13 years ago

I'm stumped (not that I'm an expert)!! All of my Phaius tankervilleae leaves are turning yellow and dying back. The necrosis is a bit soggy rather than crispy as one might expect. It starts near the tip of the leaf, or at the leaf margins and moves down the leaf.

I don't see any spores or other signs of a fungal issue. This problem has only emerged since flower spikes began to emerge. I wonder if this might have to do with not cutting the plants back last season? Or maybe a virus?

To be clear, they are potted in pro mix, are kept evenly moist, are not in full sun, and are fertilized roughly every 2 weeks with orchid special(also about 1 tspn osmocote in a #10 pot).

Any ideas/thoughts are GREATLY appreciated!
