Hi All,

I've had this cymbidium for a few years. It was gifted to me. I suspect this is CMV, but I wanted to verify with you all before tossing it. I know I could buy test strips, but I'm honestly in a tight financial situation. Any thoughts before I destroy it?

You’ll never know for sure unless you test.

There are a number of pests, infections, or nutrient imbalance issues that can give similar symptoms.

I have had plenty of Cyms with ugly leaves that tested negative for virus, and a few that look OK that turned up positive. So totally agree with Ray that it is impossible to tell by looking. Actually, I don't think I have ever had a Cym with CMV. I have seen that one in Catts but not Cyms. When I have had a virused Cym (doesn't happen often but it does happen) it always turned out to be ORSV. But again, testing is the only way to know.
