Intergeneric oncidium might be a gonner!!

Thank you Silken, I think I know now what is happening!
After working on Onc mix with JMNYC spent some time and actually went through my collection and noticed something. I am actually having a very hard time with the Onc genus. I think I'm having a couple of issues, whether it be disease or just the plane culture of this family. I am definitely noticing in my house it is very hard to keep things damp. I also might need to change my mix for this Genus as well.
I was under the impression this guy that I took care of today was being a little over watered but as I look around at some of the other Onc/Ond mixes, none of which seem to be too happy at all, other than one which would be the Miltassia Golden Spider 'Copius', which seems to be in Spike at this moment. But out of the 4 buds one has been blasted as well he still has never gotten rid of his necrotic blotches.
Yeah got me stumped. More later have a good night all and thanks for the input.

Hey! Celebrate you are now focusing, seeing all that's there and learning! That's huge in all of life! Fine rooted orchids, including ojcidium hubrids, mostly like to be fully drenched, or drenched and fertilized, and then allowed to dry. Observing the conditin of the bulbs is key: if the existing ones shrivel and are also soft, this usually indicates over watering; if they are dhirvelled and hard, that can indicate wiht underwatering or inconsistent watering.

It's a journey.....an exciting, dynamic learning curve which is interactive. Trust your new focus and all the info it brings and also trust your developing instincts!
