Yellow spots on onc. leaf

I've been keeping an eye on these spots for a few weeks now, trying to figure out what they are and whether they were spreading. Obviously, googling for "spots on oncidium leaf" doesn't come up with...

Still no aphids, but now I have a new problem. Orchid snails! :( My super healthy looking plant apparently came with a wide variety of tiny hitchhikers.

Sort of sounds like your cattleya has the same thing as my paph (and my onc, but I repotted those, so I think it's gone). I do wonder what it is! At least it doesn't seem interested in eating the...

If the bugs are only running around the bark/whatever mix you're using, they might actually be springtails, which are harmless unless you're growing seedlings or the like. Annoying as heck, yes, and...

Yeah. I had just gotten back from a trip though, so have been kind of disorganized and skipped a couple of days of close exams. Ugh! Only now pretty much getting back to normal. Found one more...

I also used the Miracle Gro orchid mix on my first orchids when I repotted them and it was far too... soil-y? Would that even be a word? Either way, the lack of air flow and such pretty much nuked...

Guesstimating from my giant monster plant, if you kept Green Valley Sweet to 3 or 4 pbulbs, it would probably be reasonably compact diameter-wise assuming it wasn't crawling out of the pot. It's...

Yeah, if I was adding any sphag it'd be like.. 10% of the mix. Just enough to keep it a little bit moist than bark alone, but not too much, and maybe twice that in big-ish pearlite, the rest bark. ...

I'm not really sure where the yellowing started. It seemed to be a very fast change though (less than 3 days). It's match on the opposite side seems to be slightly yellowed, but it's certainly not...

Favorite Oncidium resources?

I'm sure everyone is familiar with this tale -- I went to the hardware store and I ended up coming home with an oncidium that isn't even a NoID! That was pretty much my requirement for getting more...
