Does Green Lama.....

Post by SUEDIA »

have the dreadful virus :eek: Please let me know if this is the virus and I will get rid of it. Sure hope it is only the after effect of the terrible cold temps we had so late this spring.
Thanks for everyone's help.

If that's only on the oldest leaves and the newer leaves look fine then it could very likely just be some early season cold damage, possibly when it was still just coming up.

Chris, yes it is on the oldest leaves and not on new ones. Also only on 1 side of the plant. If this plant had the virus would the new leaves also be showing it. I have a friend that has Pearl Lake and she was wondering if hers has a virus. But it is also only on the oldest ones and not on the new ones. I'll tell her not did dig it up just yet. I'll get a picture next week of it and put it on the forum.
Thanks so much Chris, I will not touch it with anything yet and watch it closely.
