    Is this Schomburgkia rosea infected with a virus, theres a slight discolouration in the new leaf, like Loss of pigmentation in that area.

    First two pictures show the older leaves with no discoloration IMG_20210831_171941.jpg IMG_20210831_172035.jpg

    It is not sure Russel. It could also just be a missing of minerals.
    I saw plants they looked very healthy and had a Virus. And other looked very ill. Mostly you saw it at a flower when collor is breaking. Or you test it. I am testing at the moment 50 new plants. I found 2, but the one have black sunken spots, and the other color breaking in the flowers.

    Thanks, I started using a fertiliser last week, hope the patchs dissappear.
    Quite hard to find the relevant fertilisers and other chemicals after certain chemicals were restricted.
