Very good to know. Mine seems to shrivel unless it is moist all the time. So that gives me some confidence in watering more often. I've been waiting for it to finish blooming and then I will repot it to make sure everything is fresh, but now it's sending up another spike! I'm gonna just do it anyhow and hope the spike is ok. Any more guidance for taking care of my Onc. Sweet Sugar? It's one that I waited, shopped, waited, shopped, until I found the best yellow Onc I could find! It's really spectacular, as far as yellow Oncidiums go, in my opinion. So, I would love any advice you can give. Thanks!
