| I'm stumped. I am wondering what you all think about this leaf mottling?
For your reference, this plant is watered only when dry (very dry), is not often fertilized (with a liquid feed), but is potted in Promix with about a tablespoon of osmocote. Oh, and when it is watered, the leaves do not get wet. Could it be some type of mosaic virus? or water temperature? Thanks!!! |

| could it be pH? I'm confused as to whether Streps need slightly more basic or slightly more acidic soil. I've read both. Thanks. |

| Jellygate = yes - you nailed both causes for this discoloration. It can be virus - INSV - or some kind of chemical disbalance. If it is one plant only and the rest do OK - I would dispose of it just in case. irina |
