My First Non-Phal Orchid: Oncidium Care Advice. Female
Default My First Non-Phal Orchid: Oncidium Care Advice.

Hey Everyone!

I have finally branched away from phals! Because of this site, I have been successful in my growing of them, and I felt like it was time to try my hand at another variety. While at the grocery store yesterday, I saw a beautiful Oncidium (I think??) orchid and decided to bring it home.

So, as I know nothing of oncidium care, outside of very, very basic things, I was hoping for some advice from experienced growers.

Here's what I know/have read in the last 24 hours:

No water in the leaves (just like phal care)
Do not let it dry out all the way, likes to be a little moist.
Bright but not direct light

What else should I know about these plants? My plant has 7 psuedobulbs. 2 of them look relatively new, 1 of those new has a spike.

1 of the psuedobulbs has no more foliage. I assume this is the oldest one?

I have no idea what it is potted in. It seems to be some type of dense moss mix (not sphag). What should it be in?

I currently use Ray's K-Lite fertilizer for my phals and have his kelp-max rooting supplement.

Any help is truly appreciated! Thank you!
