Virused Veltheimia?

Peter, I am inthe equivalent of Zone 10a here in Auckland, and
Veltheimia do very well here. They thrive. I carefully planted my
original one in part shade, but a seedling cameup in the full sun part
of the garden, some years ago, this year had 3 flower heads, so is
thriving too.

Have never seen the striped look before though. I don't feed mine, just
let them get on with it.

I do not know but it looks more like a nutrient deficiency to me, or

perhaps the bulb is too warm in Zone 10a? are the roots ok?
The variegation is in stripes - not mottled.
