Hi,
I'm looking for some info on mosaic virus. I have a catt that
has black circle spots on the leaves,but still green in the center of
the circle. They are not perfectly round. Different sizes too. Here and
there kind of. One leaf eventually turned yellow and fell off. Could
this be a virus or something else I hope?.........................


A little over a year ago, I had several Catts suddenly get something
about like that. Black circles or partial circles up to about half a
inch across. Center was either green or yellow. It looked a lot like a
virus to me but since it appeared on scattered plants all at once, I
kept an open mind. It killed one plant. All the leaves were so bad that
they all yellowed and fell off. The other affected plants ranged from
several spots on most leaves to only a few spots on one leaf.
Last summer, when they were outside, I sprayed a few times with a
fungicide. The infected plants seem to have no spots forming on the new
leaves. I'm still watching, but I'm hopeful that this disease is over.
(As opposed to some of my other disease problems.)
No way to know if what your plant has is the same or not. Chances are, not.
