Oncidiums - Should I or should I not?

[mlira85]

Hello everyone!!

I am fairly new to this board....a couple days old as a matter of fact and so far I have gotten some pretty good and helpful advice I am currently thinking of getting an oncidium from a local store, Lowes and want to get some advice from those of you who have some experience with oncidiums and keeping them alive. I've never had oncidiums, only phalaenopsis' and dendrobiums so I am looking for some much needed suggestions, tips, and advice on how to care for this beauty before I actually buy one. What are some do's and don'ts with this orchid? Any information would be extremely helpful. Thanks so much.
