Unfortunately there is no truly reliable method to help in identifying a virused
orchid plant by simply looking at it without it being laboratory tested. There
are certain symptoms that can lead to suspect one though. Yellowish ring
and rectangular spots can sometimes be characteristic. Necrotic spots together
with chlorosis (lack of chlorophyl) can also be a sign. Usually these spots are
see through on the leaf versus just on one side.
