Oncidium Hilo Sparkler not growing - why?

[DrDawn]

Ah, sorry I didn't see this thread earlier! I am mostly a phal-grower, branching out to oncidiums now. Here's what I've found so far...

I got a Onc. Kukoo about six months ago in the mail. Clearly had been a bit abused because the bulbs were shriveled and the leaves were creased, indicated not enough watering. I knew that in my environment, I tend to be a heavy waterer, so I repotted in small orchiata bark in a pot with holes on the sides and bottom and started watering daily. Within a month it was sending out roots (all over the place!) - some went down into the orchiata, some went into the air, some swirled around the pseudobulbs, it is basically a little poof of tiny roots! I still water it about twice as frequently as my phals and it is very happy and has a nice big flower spike. I use tap water, room temperature, for all my orchids and so far it hasn't seemed to bother it. I've also got Mtssa. Charles M. Fitch 'Izumi', Tolumnia Jairak Flyer 'MO 05', and Tolumnia Popoki 'Mitzi', and they all are also in orchiata. The Tolumnias get frequent watering, the Miltassia doesn't seem to care as much. But the little orchids really need to be watered daily in my environment so they don't dry out too much!
