no bliss for my Orange Kiss

[charlesf6]

This Oncidium hybrid plant from Hausermanns came in bud and was beautiful upon blooming shortly thereafter.

Moved into the bath in front of the mirror to politely strut it's stuff.



Shortly thereafter the blooms all started to drop at a rapid pace.

Okay well I haven't watered since April 23rd, but I have consistently checked my Oncostele plant for dryness and the bamboo skewer pulls out much too moist for my liking.

After discovering the top moldy appearance of the Catatante upon leaving it in the lavatory for about a month or so I removed it to a drier area in hopes of it aerating and clearing up.









You can see here the moisture retention as I pull up this pole that I use to steady the orchid ever so slightly.

Do I need Physan here too?
