HVX on Stained Glass or cold damage?

Post by supercat »

Just a couple of leaves are showing this - I've had this plant for several years (5-6) this is an "early riser" so not unaccustomed to cold damage. However, this looked a bit too suspicious to me. What do you think?

ps been a while since I've posted...getting ready to move & haveing to decide which ones I can take pieces of and which ones I can't take with me :(

I think it is fine. You can see that the tips got some frost damage, and sometimes when the eyes are starting to open and then it gets cold and they slow down their unfurling you can get some odd bumps and corrugation when the leaves finally do open up. I don't see anything to worry about on it :)
