Too many pseudobulbs?

[rbarata]

A reasonable point too often overlooked. You always have to balance media, container and watering relative to each other and the environment. If the container size increases you need to make other changes to avoid a soggy center. There are many ways to do that.

I've been learning it by start using baskets. Had to use coarser medium to avoid a faster medium decay.

I have a Miltassia repoted 2 years ago. Increased pot size and now I need to repot it again, not only because it has grown much bt also because the medium doesn't look good anymore. Now I need to increase pot size once more... I also don't want to divide it to must change medium and adjust watering frequency.

I've read they like Cat-like light. I haven't had her long enough to bloom it myself. Can you please tell me what type of light yours receives?

I have one like it, all I got was one spike, maybe twice a year, then it crossed a growth point a year ago, and then it had 5 or 6 spikes at a time.

If it were mine, I would give it Oncidium level light. Bright east sun, although, my oncidiums will bloom with my Phals. Perhaps someone will have more technical advice. Not direct, hot sun.

Mine isn't identical, but it's similar. All my oncidiums, Cambria, etc get 50% shade in the winter, more shade in the summer.
