I recently was given some rhizomes that I planted and am checking daily for the virus as the leaves come up. If the rhizomes are infected and I remove them and plant my seedlings in the same flower bed, can they become infected as well? Thank-you again.Miafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07919297709720146883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957626657159763431.post-21509975580142458892011-07-28T03:41:32.740+01:002011-07-28T03:41:32.740+01:00thank you for the excellent pictures; I have my ho...thank you for the excellent pictures; I have my home gardens with the old style yellow/red flowers and green leaves, and also others with the orange flowers/striped bronze leaf.

They need a large quantity of nitrogen to make it through the summer, and it is still officially summer!<br />A top-up with a soaking of liquid MiracleGro, which has a decent quantity of nitrogen as well as potash (needed for flowers and seed) will see the Cannas through until the first frosts.Thor Daleböhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10777689933284140790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7957626657159763431.post-82434438224127916392010-09-22T19:46:20.792+01:002010-09-22T19:46:20.792+01:00My cannas do not have any stripes yet look "t...My cannas do not have any stripes yet look "tired". It seems as if they need to be "hand" unrolled because they are rolled just too tight to unroll on their own. Is this part of the virus or something different??

Dilemma appears to be in conflicting opinions. Per Keith's article - burn and start clean. Per Alice's forum - all cannas infected at least with Yellow Mottle and Mozaic, so live with it. I believe you followed resent discussion on later, and thus know that I am trying something. I have no illusions that it will produce good results, but still.... I apreciate ability to communicate, ask questions and get answers. And I appreciate your "to the point" answers!

But what to do with peat moss, soil, pots, sites of previous planting, mulch, even aphrids that supposedly transmit viruses from plant to plant, etc. It is somewhat difficult to burn everything that these viruses could touch. What is the danger of recontamination and how to prevent from it? I understand that this is very loaded question. However problem is also not so small. Thank you upfront for all information and guadince you can provide.
