Virus Report-Many Virused Orchids

[My Green Pets]

Hi Vicki

"Miss Vanda" as you called her also tested positive for CymMV (she's been tested twice).

Have to keep her away from the other plants but she is currently in bloom with 12 or so spikes.

The virus causes some pits and spots on the older leaves when she's stressed but she still grows and blooms well.

It's a tough decision to hold on to infected plants, but if you're giving them away, be sure your friend knows about the virus.
