How long for oncidiums to bloom?
I have several Dancing Lady type oncidiums that appear to be growing very well. Each one has 3-4 spikes, ranging 3-5 feet in length. However, I am getting impatient. The first spikes started appearing in Nov-Dec and appear to just keep growing without flowering. One spike broke or got nibbled off about a month or so ago but now has two secondary spikes growing from the two nodes immediately below the break. So it has been 3-4 months since they first appeared. Has something arrested the blooming mechanism or is this a normal time frame for maturation?
