Chris thanks.
I am very sad :( .All my plants are about disease....I did not know about the disease and hygiene done :( I have 50 pieces and 10 pieces disease is already visible.
In the Czech Republic in horticulture sell a lot of diseased plants :eek: , Now I know of a single (1!!) gardening centrum where the 100% healthy plants and testing .... http://www.hosta.cz/index.php

Thanks. Renata
