Default New orchid process - what's yours?

I'm new to the orchid game, and was wondering what your process is when you bring a new plant into your home, or growing area?

I am worried about pests and diseases and was wondering how you treat new plants you bring home?

Obviously, a quarantine area is ideal, but do you repot right away to avoid bringing in pests? Do you treat with something like an insecticidal soap regardless of if you can see anything?

In my steep learning curve, one of the first nicer plants I bought home from a show, ended up totally infested with mealybugs and they got on my other plants. It was about 2 months before I could feel confident that I had eradicated them.

Do you risk stressing the plant out more by repotting right away (might be good to also get a look at the condition of the roots?) and treating with some sort of insecticide?
