Virused plant?

[NYCorchidman]

Glen- such streaking is actually very common manifestation of virus infection. There are no insects of any kind here in the house. I had croton and some palm trees in the past that spider mites loved. I hate the damage done. so sad and ugly!

Camille- My ignorance...I meant CymMV and ORSV. Thank you for correction. I've heard about mass produced orchids mostly being virused. Well, they only care about money unfortunately and it is actually understandable. I meet some growers who make faces when I ask about their plants having ugly dark spots on the leaves. Their goal is to sell as many as possible again and again and make profit. and many people are not like me, who like to keep plants and watch them grow for years. They simply get the plants for flowers. Once the flowers are gone, or even before, the plants are tossed. I don't blame anyone, but it is definitely not ideal situation I'd say. I guess I'll just have to live with virused plants as long as they grow and flower fine.
