Took A Chance - Striptease

Post by Spider »

So I took a chance and bought a striptease - off ebay, lol. Considering it's going into a pot and I plan on treating it in a sterile manner (like you do with horses with strangles to not pass it on). It's soaking in a disposable bag, I washed my hands and used gloves from work.

I took photos of some leaves that look a little "bleedy" to me. If you guys could look and give me suggestions on informing the seller (if you do think it's virused - really, I didn't buy it thinking it wouldn't be).

Here's the back (I think of the same leaf) I'm having internet troubles, so the photos are time consuming. :)

Spider, so far that just looks like normal Striptease coloration. The HVX symptoms with Striptease look a little 'speckly' going down the veins in the lighter center. It looks like a nice plant so far... :D
