Yes, let's not. It's already been discussed. Growing virused plants is an individual decision. None of my orchids are so important that they can't share space with a virused plant. Other's feel differently. I just make the case for folks who only have a few and try to give them some info on virus' and what they may see. Lots and lots of folks have virused plants, don't know it, and won't see any adverse effects from it. Some of the folks in my orchid club used the immune strips on known orchids, some with and some without virus' and the strips flunked the test 28% of the time. Double blind tests. Two different people testing. So I say use caution as to how much weight you put on them. If virus is a big issue with you, then use a lab.
