Will may oncidium survive? Male
Default Will may oncidium survive?

Last year I got an Oncidium X Miltona at my local show. It had one Small (about 1cm tall and has a small little leaf) pseudobulb, a medium pseudobulb, and one pseudobulb that was plump, and had two leaves and had flowers. It flowered well and when it ended flowering all was fine. The day before I went on vacation I was watering my orchids and I found that the bulb was rotting. I learned that I was suppose to cut the bulb off and put cinnamon on it. I also repotted it, but it had no roots. It has done nothing for a while and has shriveled up. However, recently I got two small roots and I got excited. To my surprise I also found two new pseudobulbs at its base. Now I had hope! Unfortunately I must had hit the roots when I was looking the plant over and I found both roots, which are about 1 cm long, had black dots at the end. Will it create new roots? If not will the two pseudobulb still develop?

Can you post some photos of the roots/ball of the plant and maybe some pics of the foliage as well? Maybe it will be easier for someone to chime in if they see what is going on

Pics would be nice.

However...

Just based off what you describe, do know that the roots to Oncidium can branch off new roots from an older one.
