They look really good. I love Oncidiums! I find them pretty easy to grow in my home (except for my one Miltiopsis) which repotted taking your advice and she had 3 bulbs buried in the over abundance of spaghnum moss!! :)
I guess I never realized that a pseudo bulb must develop on a new growth to make it more of a mature growth. Thanks for teaching me something new...again!!!
Thank you for the video as I have an Oncidium not sure if it is an Alliance. Very informative for me and now I have a base to start at. Have a great day. Looking forward to seeing them in bloom.
A lot of the "cooler" oncidium types are sold as a one bulb plant with two spikes sometimes, takes ages for them to overcome the shock and start growing again
They have loads of massive 'stock plants' which produce loads of new growths. With the conditions they provide and the strength of these plants, they bloom really well. Then each new growth (sometimes with another bulb) is separated, potted and sold. This stimulates the stock plants to produce another set of growths quickly. Many of these separated growths will die before they can recover as they've lost all their strength being separated from the large plants.
Thanks roger I have about 10 onc and only 1 has flowered in the years that I've had them there in sml pots growing fine there lge so I don't no what to do to make them flower its winter here so not to much I can do thank you as always
Roger, might you touch on any significant differences there might be in the use of 70% alcohol, H202 and cinnamon as they each may have a different effect on fungi and bacteria? Would there be any less effect of spraying a plant when it is being treated by a systemic as opposed to wiping or gently brushing the systemic on the leaves? Even with a good gentle fan breeze to dry a plant, getting a mixture into a crown or leaf joint might cause a different problem. I know that these minutia question would have no bearing on a grower with a number of plants - unrealistic at best, but when addressing a plant with sentimental value....as well as it might be a process from which one could extrapolate a good or bad result. Hope your TH-cam ‘peekers’ will step up to the SUBSCRIBE button for you. After all, look what a simple request did for the bird watching👍
The concertina leaves are normally where watering is erratic so growth keeps stopping and starting. This can happen in periods of heat where frequency is not adjusted? Some Oncidium types will tolerate more light than others - the colour of the leaves will pale if getting too much light. Brassias like a lot.
Looking great. Thanks for sharing one of my favorites.🥰
You're welcome.
Thanks again for sharing

"these get watered..."
I was honestly expecting you to say "when I remember". 😉
The ones in the house are getting done a bit more often now.

Mature growths on a reasonable sized plant should bloom. Lack of spikes normally means not enough light?
👍🏼👍🏼
I’d like to know more about the fungicide you used, please. I have a few new plants that need a treatment, I suspect.
I'll go over them in the next Qs and As - probably tomorrow?

I've added these to the list. (Have you checked the nests in Wales and the one in Scotland? - The chicks are nearly full grown now.)
Hi Roger, my Sharry baby has some " concertina" leaves. What does this mean? Also do Oncidiums tolerate some sun? Thanks
