Please Help! Pyp not blooming.

[Cewal]

I've had my Onc.(now Pyp.)Mendenhall 'Hildo' for about 4 years and it still has not bloomed. How should I be caring for it, and how much light can it stand?

I would google the name paired with one other word. The other words you should try would be culture, light and/or light requirements, and any other word representing what you are looking for. In my research, I usually pair like this: "phaius tankervillae" "temperature range", or "phaius tankervillae" culture. This should define the parameters enough that relevant information will pull up for you.

Good luck! I'm new to Oncidiums myself, and am hoping I can get them to rebloom as well!

Thanks, Paul. I'll try that.

That is a great care sheet. My psychopsis is growing V-E-R-Y slowly. Finally has some new leaves coming out. Is this typical? The slow growth, I mean.

For Psychopsis, yes, they are typically a group of fairly slow growing plants.
