I recently purchased and Odontocidium at a local home depot... but when i checked the roots several days later... they were all dead! I have several other orchids such as phalaenopsis and miltoniopsis, and they are all thriving, though I need some feed back on how to grow this new plant back to health. There is currently some new root growth, and I want to make sure I do everything right.
( I have the plant in a 4" pot, and it is in a fine/medium bark mixture)
it likes cooler temps, although it will tolerate some intermediate and hot. Cold=50-60, Intermediate=68-75 and hot=75-85 degree night temps. Next is where this appears to be different than most orchids: Humidity=40-80%. Water heavily BUT ENSURE PERFECT DRAINAGE. The media rcommended is fir bark amended with coarse sand, coarse perlite, and shredded peat. Hope that helps.
What you should do is go to the section on the website that is for Oncidium Alliance/Odontocidiums, tell them what kind the plant is and ask them. Someone will answer your question. You're amongst friends here.
