Repotting a Recently Bought Oncidium

A well hydrated Oncidium - turns out to have quite poor roots and, of course, two plants in the pot.
As always, thanks for watching.

Thank you for posting this, I have a similar situation with an oncidium and I’m quite new to taking care of them! I’ll have to repot mine and do the same

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

You're welcome.

No matter how many times I've watched your repotting videos, I always learn something new! 💜

[@giardinodialberi8751]

Thanks for the tutorial. It turns out I did a similar feat with my first Oncidium a few months ago, so your video has comforted me and affirmed this novice's decisions. My spring purchase, in spike, had been potted entirely in sphagnum, which never dried even if I waited 3 weeks; I was afraid I'd encourage root rot. An orchid society member suggested removing the plant to inspect the roots; as I feared, there was a small amount of root rot, so I decided to repot in bark/perlite/charcoal. But when? It had just begun to open its 87 flowers. I proceeded with the repot anyway, and am glad I did since the plant did not protest, and the bloom cycle came to a timely close 2 months after it began, so I was lucky in spite of breaking the rule of Thou shalt not repot an orchid in bloom.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I've repotted many orchids in bloom - as long as the buds are open, it seems fine. Unopened buds may blast.

Like watching you do your reports thanks makes a change

You're welcome.

A Roger potting video,always a treat.🤗

Thanks.

So nice to see you growing oncidiums! They've been a favorite of mine, but I don't think you were too fond of them in the past. xxo

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I have quite a few in the Oncidium Alliance but not that many pure Oncidiums.

[@YnseSchaap]

Mine was the same just roots on the oldest bulb, reminded me of the Sweet Sugar they also grow new bulbs without making new roots

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I've never had one with the only roots this far back on the plant - and yet, there are signs of roots on the latest bulb?

[@YnseSchaap]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger Neither have I 😁 I have mine on life support it's not doing that well, it has a new growth but no roots

[@zm35r2bn]

Don't forget on Sirius grow nice big bulbs and then they grow their Roots they grow opposite of other orchids

[@briguylor]

Quick question Roger...have you ever seen an oncidium with cream coloured stripes along the edges of the leaves, just one stripe along each edge? I bought one in Florida at a farmers market pre covid and have it in my collection. I have never seen another . Regards, from Canada.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I had one a long time ago with yellow edges to the leaves.

[@karlawoods2098]

Let us know how they progress. I have had a similar situation with a Brassia inter. Some of these really creep. Thank you for your time again. That is such a good idea; how you planted yours! Do you still have your Brassia?

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

I have two Brassias - Sea Breeze and Santa Barbara - both growing ok and as the bulbs are heading toward maturity, they should spike soon.

[@karlawoods2098]

@@GrowingOrchidswithRoger Helloe; found your Brassia in the May 16, 2021 Large Oncidium vid. They're roots are heavier; thicker than most most oncid family members; no? Listened to their specific care several times. Thank you for getting back with me.

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Do grow stone resemble gravel or pumice stones? Does it retain water or just open up air pockets in the media?

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

It's more like pumice and does hold some water.

I've been bingo watching and in an episode I heard mention of an oncidium series. I've been searching thru ur videos but I cannot find that specific video. Could u give me the title for that video?

[@fredrickg77]

Why don’t you mount them on a long mount?

[@zula6436]

Oncidium types with tendency to climb are not easy to grow in the pot ( oh,my don't I know it ). Difficult to keep the roots getting into the media, but we all try, right? ☺️.Hope this one will grow nicely for you. 🤞🍀.

[@GrowingOrchidswithRoger]

As long as there is a good root base in the pot, some climbing bulbs doesn't matter so much.
