I bought this Monstera Adansonii 2 months ago, and it's always had this pattern on a couple of leaves. Despite that, it's been steadily pushing out new growth since I bought it, and I'm only now asking because while all of the new leaves are perfectly green, the very last one that is still unfurling seems to have this same pattern. I've been getting ready to out it on a moss pole, but now I'm unsure as I'd rather not spend time and money into a doomed plant anyway.
There are that I can see, at least 3 maybe 4 adansonii plants in this one pot. If it is the tobacco mosaic virus, would it be possible to keep the ones that don't have any of that yellow pattern, or are there no chance that they aren't infected already? What about just a leaf cutting to propagate?
Thanks for the help!

Quarantine if you really want to find out.
But is it really worthwhile to risk most of your collection over one pot of cheap adansonii?
Just a sidenote -I noticed several at Lowe’s that looked just like this – enough that it caught my eye as I was walking by. Hate to think there is a batch out that could spread
