[philoserenus]

i just noticed on my young odcdm has a slight streaking pattern of yellowy-green on the green leaves... does that mean itz virused (i dun have the camera at the moment to )... or could it just be the vendor's environment was just not too nice b4 i bought it?

There's really no way to tell for sure unless you have tested for viruses.
Have you checked the roots? many times orchids will look questionable if the root zone is not doing well.

There is a good possibility that your odcdm has a virus. It is very hard to tell without a . Suggestively, I would place this guy out of arms reach of the other orchids until problem is resolved.

Virus's are dreaded by orchid growers because there is no practical cure for them. The most obvious symptom of a virus infection is streaking or color breaks in the flower.

It's hard to offer information sight unseen. Hopefully you have a local agricultural department within your city, if so, give them a call and see if they can help. Virus's spread, use care.
