              and the edilus is getting bigger but it will end up in the rubbish as I reckon is infested with the virus.

                  Durban has it's first flowers but the leaves look a bit iffy, could be virus but some leaves are ok.

                    Well, virus or no, Strongy, your plant is well ahead of mine. My Durban's not even close to flowering but the leaves are pretty good.:snork:

                    Does Durban always look a bit "tired" as though it might have a virus?

                    Mine is from reputable supplier, but doesn't look a picture of health ...
