New plant isolation

[(..._...)]

How long do you suggest keeping new plants isolated from your collection?

I bought two plants on February 7th. Are they ready to be moved in with the rest of my plants?

Thanks!

If you got them early Feb, I think you isolated them more than long enough, especially if you don't see any problems!
I usually put my new ones with the rest of the orchids right away, unless I have a doubt on the health of a new one. Then I just leave it aside for 2 weeks or so, just to see that there are no problems appearing.

Thats what I did until I landed up with a spider mite infestation, and a fungus which spread to most of my phals! lol

I wan't to make sure I keep everything under control this year! lol

i spray them with Bayer 3-in-1 to kill any fungus or insects that might be on them, then quarantine them for a month.
