What could have been…

While on a quick glance this plant may look normal, you need to look carefully at the leaves on the main vine compared to the secondary vines. Main vine leaves look “normal” but the leaves on the secondary vines are mottled and misshapen. It is hard to tell in this ‘point in time’ photo, but the growth is also stunted with the side vines basically, not growing.

On the main vine you will also notice that one leaf has yellow and brown at the margin (edge), this is a leaf burn that is a direct result of the virus as the plant is not able to properly function and is spreading through the plant. This portion of the plant was removed since the side vines had not grown very much over the last week and were not looking very good.
