Yellow points on Amorphophallus albus

From: "Jakub T." <yq-email at o2.pl> on 2007.07.28 at 15:10:37(16007) Hello all. Does anyone have any idea what are these yellow points on the leaf of Amorphophallus albus. It's a small, 20 cm (8 inches) plant growing in full sun on south balcony. Some time ago it was sprayed with chemical acaricide against spider mites. I just hope it's not a virus. Thank you in advance. -- Best Regards Jakub, zone 5 +More _______________________________________________ Aroid-L mailing list Aroid-L@www.gizmoworks.com http://www.gizmoworks.com/mailman/listinfo/aroid-l

This is the first year that I'm growing some Am. albus outdoors next to the konjacs. The leaves aren't fully opened yet. If others think it's a virus then I'll make note of what that looks like for future reference. +More Jakub - small language barrier - when you said "yellow points" we thought you meant the tips of the leaflets - I mention this just so you can understand the answers you got before. -Ken Jakub T. wrote: > Thank you.

The viruses I`ve seen ususlly have a look of a swirling, different colored marbled pattern, very different to these spots. Just a suggestion---why not try growing this plant in some partially shaded areas? If in nature it grows in light or heavy shade, you can not expect to try to grow it in full sun and obtain a healthy plant. Good Luck. Julius +More >>Thank you. I forgot to attach the photos.

If it was very bad, those yellow spots could be from damage from the mites and the next leaves to come up should be fine. Sick sense of humor? Visit Yahoo!

From: Ken Mosher <ken at spatulacity.com> on 2007.07.29 at 22:16:24(16017) The little spots from spider mite damage look different than that. Those spots aren't from spider mites, in my opinion. Further, I have had a serious spider mite infestation on Typhonium venosum immediately next to my sales stock of Amorph. albus. No damage at all to the albus even when significant webbing on Typhoniums. In my greenhouse the spider mites just don't ever bother the Amorphophalli. -Ken +More Susan B wrote: > Jakub, how bad was your mite infestation?
