Most like cool temperatures, so the range most people keep their homes is good for Oncidiums.

Humidity in homes is usually low, due to air conditioning or heating. This means the plant needs a lot of water, since transpiration from the leaves is increased. Thicker-leaved orchids have waxy coats, and other mechanisms to decrease water loss. Thin-leaved plants don't.
