@Kaktus are you seeing them on your grafted desert roses only? Do you buy your desert roses in local nurseries or online or both? In a different garden website, the members' discussions, (which were over 2 years old) indicated they got their infected desert roses from a reputable local nursery. When they visited the nursery again most of the desert roses were infected with mosaic virus.

@2ManyPlants, good thing you are aware what symptoms to look for and at least keep yours isolated and it has not spread to your other collection.

I am watching 2 mostly because the plants seem to be stressed (has not really produced desirable blooms) compared to others. I have 1 I isolated from the start (curly leaves with long droopy stems and deformed blooms) but no leaf discoloration. The second one has naturally curly leaves but the buds keep falling off. I isolated them thinking they might have bugs that I could not see.

Some discoloration could be spider mites infestation too. But close inspection you can see little holes on the plants leaves.

I'm watching my very first adenium right now that new adult leaves seem to be growing normal but light green not dark green like others but uniform color and no curling. Blooms are normal too and seem healthy blooms.

Then the seedling that I did experimentation with grafting different scions I isolated this morning because new leaves are turning reddish color. Not sure if it is because I tried to graft different colors on its multi-Branch and it is now upset with me.
