Oncidium help please

[flowerpower]

I have no doubt you can keep it going. Oncidiums sometimes look terrible but they're still in very good health, just using the energy they saved up. It's mosty cosmetic but I also love oncidiums to have those beautiful plump bulbs. It's definitely possible but can be hard to achieve. The new bulbs will grow plump and the secret seems to be keeping them that way and stopping it from ever needing to tap into its energy storage. Hot weather can increase their water loss as they prefer slightly cooler conditions. As the weather gets cooler you might see some plumping up of the bulbs. For me, some oncidiums do plump up but others won't. I don't know why. You might even water as much as three times a week in the hot weather and new, dry media.
