Mealybug

[Atzau]

Ugh, is there ever just one (or two as my case may be) Mealybug? Sigh, got a new acquisition... An arrangement with a NOID phal and dendrobium and found 2 mealybugs on it. I quickly removed it with a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and it's in quarantine, which is difficult for me right now as I'm pet sitting my sisters two cats and already had to move all my existing orchids to a locked room (yes, those darn cats also know how to open my doors cause i have the lever door handles ) with not as much light. I guess this newest pot will just have to stay in the area with the third most amount of light in the house...poor thing.

I'll keep checking it for more mealy bugs but how long would I have to keep it in quarantine after the last mealybug sighting (yes, i know, im getting ahead of myself here...)before putting it with the rest of my collection? And would I have to do a full repot before then?
