Ok ya'll... poppysue is in a panic. I'm gonna post several photos of leaves that I'm thinking exhibit virus symptoms. All are different. Maybe I'm being a panicky baby but I don't think so. I'll appreciate any advice. This leaf is from 'Cypress Gardens'... Notice the patches of pale discoloring.
Virus or not? Destroy? Isolate? or quit worrying?
first question, what are you spraying with??
I haven't used anything toxic to spray with... tee tree oil, seaweed, and epsom salts. Everything has diluted real well too ...
just thinking that your routine might help someone determine what's going on. Do you use Safer's? or anything like that? Pepper spray?
No ... no pepper spray. I've used safers before but haven't in quite a while. I've been using Gnatrol to water with for the fungus gnats. I don't think there any spidermites... but not sure if I'm just not seeing them.
Poppysue, i thought i had viruses on everything when the scare started a while back. are the stems okay? if in doubt isolate, and don't worry!
The trouble is I don't have much room to isolate them. I can't just move them to the other side of the yard ;) I only have so much light space in the house & don't want to spread anything to all my plants and seedlings. I did get rid of one plant a few weeks ago. I was sure it had a mosaic virus... the leaves were definately mottled.
poppy, was it a brug that you got rid of?
Yes - it was a double candida - highly susceptable I've read. The leaves looked just like the tobacco mosaic virus. And yes... I smoke :(
poppy, if you sprayed those leaves with safer, that could have given the impression of something else. I sprayed mine with safers and showed to Calalily. She said it was from the safers, yellowish blotches. It was the only one like that.
I honestly don't think this is from spraying - I wish it was. It's in the leaves... not like burn from a spray. The brown spots on Jessie Noel could possibly be a spray reaction. That's the only one with spots like that.
Poppysue, do you have aphids? They make spots on the leaves. They damage the leaves while they are still tiny and developing and you see it when the leaves grow out.
