Help needed. Is this crinum virused?
Jim Lykos (Tue, 09 Apr 2013 03:20:12 PDT)

From my experience in growing Crinums the faint circles suggest that they
were likely to have been mildly infected by thrips, mites or mealy bugs
during the leaf growth stage. This can be more obvious when grown in
nutrient deficitant conditions.

Cheers

The leaves look like mosaic virus to me.Quite often mosaic will only
manifest its self when the plant is stressed,such as without fertilizer.
The only way I know to be sure, is to have it tested,which costs about
sixty to seventy dollars in the US.

Hi. I have a crinum zeylanicum which is potted in almost pure sand and it
has not been fertilized in about 6 months. I'm not sure if the leaves are
showing virus symptoms or nutrient deficiency. Can you guys please have a
look at the pics attached to the following link and see what you think?
There are 12 pics of the crinum in question.
