Well i don't know if there is any hope for it right now. i took it out of the bag to see what was going on and it was covered in moldy substance. even the new growth that was coming out before it started to die fell off. i have it sitting in a pot and i have been spritzing it every day. i did clean the roots with peroxide in hopes of killing off any bacteria. i did see a couple of very small roots that appeared to be green, but i am not very hopeful that this will come back.

hey its all about experience... if it didnt work for you... next time try the foam who knows it will work on yours. i failed on the sphag and bag thing... but i got it all worked on the foam... dont know if it would work in your area. the good thing dat i learned from the foam is dat it doesnt make the plant sit on water, 2nd since its a synthetic material so i think no bacteria or fungi or mold would grow into that material - ( i havent seen one) 3rd it holds moisture and air... = humidity? ionno i hope ray has the explanation or maybe try using this kind of method... i actually dont give any attention to my back bulbs... I always think that if the bulbs lives then its for you if it dies then it wont live for you! im still struggling on vanda... but theres a root came out... but i accidentally tied it a bit tight then i just saw the roots kinda in an odd shape kinda like a flat root thing haha... i hope it would grow on some area.. wish me luck! anyway i dont expect this technique would be use forever. i think its just for rooting and growing small plants... if its large enough u can transfer them in a larger pot with your desired medium. But now im adding some orchids with foam too...

as long as your bulb is hard and not soft i think you still have a chance on them just always try to absorb all the things uve learned i have failed alot of times but its all about trial and error! maybe a lil prayer to God will keep ur oncidium baby bounce back to life...
