Mosaic Virus in JJ Plants

7 years ago

Hello. I purchased two small plants from Jungle Jack's this July. A Bali Whirl and Mini Me. They came with a few leaves already out. Both plants had some mottling in the leaves that now it think could be mosaic virus.


I did not think to take pictures or check into it right away but I do have a pic showing the mottling in the Bali Whirl (middle right and lower left at bottom edge leaf coming from the center tip in the shot). Mini Me had some red spots that bleached out as the leaves matured consistent with what has been said here http://www.kukiatsgardens.com/PlumeriaVirus.html posted on the Pacific Pearl Changed conversation.


Has anyone gotten infected plants from JJ before? I would probably have to wait years before I know if it really is mosaic virus from color break in the flowers so I'm not sure what to do. I don't want to destroy the plants but I don't want to risk spreading it to other plants, if it is mosaic and I don't have the facility to send plant samples for virus testing or anything like that. They were mail order so driving them back to JJ to ask about it is not an option and I'm sure they can claim that I infected them by now (even though in 28 years here I have not seen any signs of mosaic on any of my plants, plumerias or otherwise).


Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
