Virus

[plumania]

New growth on C. luddemanniana. Hanging in the tree and gets a lot of light and some shade.

Only the leaf part has these markings and to me it looks like high light exposure when leaf grows out of 'sheath'.Or is it a virus?
Whole plant got red leaves. Should I give it more shade?

I don't think it's a virus but it does look like it's getting a little too much light. Try to find a shadier spot to put it in. Happy Fourth of July!

Not a sign of a viral infection.

That's anthocyanin pigmentation due to high light exposure. This plant is not able to safely absorb any more light. Do not increase light intensity.

Thanks a lot for the responses. I will move it to shadier place.
Happy 4th of July to all.
