Oncidium "Sharry Baby" How to rebloom?

[neb]

I do not mist the leaves I just water the media on all sides of the plant until I hear water running out.

I actually don't mist any of my orchids other than the ones that are known to grow in cloud/rain forests such as cool growing porroglossums and scaphosepalums. My understanding is that if the water gets into the folds of the leafs it might harm them. But I may be way off base on that one. Phal's I know are not forgiving of this.

I agree. I try to keep the area around the orchid humid, but only spray certain ones, and only if it is very dry in the room.

My Sharry Baby has just started to open some of its blooms(80 on first spike) I also have a second spike(no buds yet). My chids are on a small flood and drain hydroponic system which is watered/fertilized once a day. It's in perlite and I've had it about 18 months purchased as blooming size. Can't wait for the scent of chocolate its so famous for. I'm under a 150w high pressure sodium.

How do the plants stay in place in perlite? It is such a light medium, I would think that the plants would tople over! I would love to have a set up like yours.
