Golden Tiara...

Post by Greygardener »

Whatchy'all think??? This is a three year old plant. Last year it was fine, this year it has all these spots.

Thankfully, it's not one of my favourite ones.

Hi Danny,

It is really hard to tell if that is HVX or just a tired plant. The brown spots aren't virus, but it may be a little mottled to go with it, just can't see it from here. It wouldn't be a great loss, thankfully, if you just decided to say goodbye to it.

That almost looks like a chemical burn or something, especially since the new leaves look fine...I guess I would clip a lot of the old foliage and dispose in garbage and sanitize everything. See if the newly encouraged growth starts to look normal.

But GT is pretty common. It it the only one you have? Getting a new one might be a tad difficult since this GT is on the heavily infected list.
