Default What is wrong with my Colmanara?

In Febuary, I got this Colmanara Wildcat 'Sunset Tiger' in spike. It bloomed and started sending out one new growth, then another one and then another one. It was really thriving! But when I came back from Mexico, it had these black spots and some of the leaves where yellowing. The new growth stopped growing. It satrted spreading very fast! Now, i cut off these two leaves when I watered. I hope its not a virus! What ever it is. Help me!

Here are the pictures:

I know, I also noticed the rings and thought of a fungal infection. Ive heard viruses usually have some of defined pattern as in the mottling or yellowing. I dont see any defined pattern here..

It's not viral.

Most likely fungal.

Try Listerine.

The leaves are done, it'll continue to die back even if you successfully treat the plant btw.

The plant will be okay if it can survive the infection.

Yes, try Listerine to treat it. Use the original version (amber colored).
