I've been watching this one for a while wishing the spots would disappear :roll: but it only gets worse. :( Luckily it's still in a pot. Time to trash it?

:( So sorry to see this! Hopefully Chris has an answer better than one I would give. And since I'm a novice, I'll leave the opinion giving to the expert!

:eek: Mary Ann, Is that the one you got from me in the exchange at Peggy B's get together? :( Mine is not showing any signs of HVX. It was never actually divided. I ordered one plant but there were two separate pieces when I received it.

Yes, Pat, that's the one. It's a gorgeous plant except for those spots. Last year some of the leaves weren't a clear yellow, had tiny dark discolorations, now this, I'm sad, but don't you worry about it for a minute. Just watch yours closely. 8-)

I feel so bad! :( It came from a reputable mail order nursery. I'll make it up to you somehow. I will keep a close eye on mine too.
