Help with orchid labeled "Odontoglossum/Oncidium"!!
Hey Guys!
Today I was at a local Fred Meyer store here in Portland and noticed an Oncidium that had been marked down, so I purchased it...I'm no expert on Oncidiums, but I love them and want to give this one a test run before I buy more for my orchid collection. So here are my questions:
1) What does "Odontoglossum" mean?
2) The two outer leaves appear to have been
damaged/broken. Do they need to be removed or wait
for them to drop naturally?
3) I know I need to take it out of that medium, but can
anyone recommend a good mix for the Oncidiums? I
have been having a hard time locating quality orchid
supplies here in Oregon and thought that maybe I could
mix my own...
4) What is a quick, effective way of replenishing the
pseudobulbs without putting more stress on the plant
and root system?
I apologize if these questions have been asked frequently in the past. My new apartment does not have internet yet and this site is hard to navigate on my phone. Regardless, thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer!!
Happy 4th!!
Joseph
