Recovering Wilsonara Calico Gem
Default Recovering Wilsonara Calico Gem

I got this plant (I bough two of the same) at TJ last September. It is so far the only oncidium type that I've hd that flower again from the old spike, just like tolumnias do.

nice flower count, small plant size, long blooming season, clean green leaves...I kept them although they both had their pbs all wrinkled up within the first week of purchase.
None of the leaves fell off.

never repotted as I wasn't sure if I really wanted to keep them. They continued to bloom well into February.
Both plants initiated one new growth, but growth isn't that great. definitely root damage.
One is at least slowly growing and I even spotted a low spike emerging. totally unexpected with this plant being in such poor condition.

The other one has almost halted the growth. The roots are almost all gone too. I'm just keeping it to see how it progress. This one is shown in the first picture.

The flower picture is from October in its peak.
