Virus or plants need feed?! I’m very unsure. Maybe they need bigger pots?
Also the second picture is cuttings, any opinions as why are they struggling? They were so healthy last week and now the tips of new growth is brown and icky. I feel like they might be goners.
Sad plant mom this morning.

This is an automatic reminder regarding r/dahlias Rule 3:
When reasonable*, posters should make a good-faith effort to identify which variety/varieties are shown in their photo(s). If you don’t know for certain, please say so. Someone will usually know!
*Common-sense exceptions to this rule will be honored, such as if the photo does not contain a blossom, or if your photo contains large volumes (such as in wide field shots).
If you’ve already done this, thank you! No further action required.
If not, please add a reply to this comment and confirm if you know the name of your dahlia variety/varieties shown in the photo(s). Alternately, if you’re uncertain of the variety name(s), it’s ok to say that, too.

I vote feed but don’t have a lot of virus experience so interested to hear from the dahlia veterans.
How old are you the cuttings? They look a bit big for cuttings (mine are usually 2inch tall). I have lost some foliage right before they get those roots established and then they bounced back. Did you take the cutting from the base or right at the top? Rooting hormone or no?
