Virus confirmed. Now just anxious

[rymor]

Hey all-

I had a nice cattleya that bloomed out for the first time with an obvious color break. Tested and confirmed to have ORSV with an Agdia test strip. Since my test strip order also came with 4 other strips I tested....

- Another plant that I picked up as the same time as plant 1 (both were home depot better-gro bags). - NEG for ORSV and CymMV

- An ugly leaf grower (though avid root producer) that I purchased at a local (and well known?) grower. This test POS for both ORSV and CymMV

- Tested another plant from the same nursery that I bought the ugly leaf grower from also tested POS for ORSV.

- A random plant from collection. Negative for all.

This experience has me feeling down. These testings wouldn't of been done if that flower had not bloomed out with the color breaks. The plants that have tested positive were vigorous growers for the most part and just the one had obvious ugly markings on new growth. I recall seeing tags at that nursery on a few plants that had tested positive for a virus. I've let them know about my tests for their information.

How paranoid should I be about the other plants in my collection? I try to stay clean with my cuts and avoid obvious sharing of water but everything is outside and that can be hard.

I cannot afford a widespread Agdia testing spree but am considering sending a batch to Critter Creek for tests.
