I have several Aureomarginatas that were divided from the same plant a few years ago. Now 3 of them are developing these markings on a couple of leaves. It is only on the tip of the leaf. Do you think it is a virus?

Hello,

Because it is confined to the leaf tip as if a line was drawn horizontally through it this looks like frost damage.

When the eyes are just starting to shoot up, everything above the soil level got damaged and that line is where the emerging growth was protected by the soil.

If it was virused it wouldn't stop like that and would continue down the leaf further and more unevenly.

Also, check the newest leaves. Do they show anything? If not, again I would say frost damage on this one.

I was ready to dig them up and get rid of them, but then thought I would check here first. I'm glad I did. Thank you for the quick reply!
