Fig Mosaic Virus on new growth cuttings?

Hi All,

I have successfully rooted this Dalmatie from cuttings but looks like it's FMV infected?

Can some one please diagnose what this is?

Thanks all

Pretty tiny picture, not much help.
However, often times cuttings can show some FMV when they first start growing and then get over it when they get a little bigger. The plant is at the weakest point as a newbie from cutting and the virus is able to express itself better, as the plant gets stronger it is able to suppress the virus. Now some viruses or cocktails of virus are stronger and the plants will never suppress it, it's all just up to what you started with.

It could be FMD, but also lack of nutrients, low ph, ... There have also been several interesting posts about fig mites that can cause mottling leaves.
