Geranium leaves have black line veins

10 years ago

Hi,

I noticed that my leaves have these black veins all over it. Some leaves are more prominent than others with these black veins. I know that I have whiteflies on my plants right now but could that cause them to have these marks? Or is it something else? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Karen

Perhaps a virus. Maybe Pelargonium Flower Break Virus (PFBV).

If so, management is to discard it.

is this indoors.. outside.. cutting.. seedling...established plant...

where are you???

you really havent given us much info beyond the black veins ... and a pic of one leaf

could be a virus.. lack of light indoors.. cold damage... old media w/o good nutrients... all peat with high acidity ...

finally.. do you know they are whiteflies.. or could they be fungus gnats.. and if so.. we might add overwatering to a potential answer ...
