Oncidium or Odontoglossum? Male
Default Oncidium or Odontoglossum?

Hi everyone, I am looking for some help. More specifically I am looking for a little identification help. I have this NOID plant. When I purchased it all the tag said was “premium orchid”. After I purchased this plant I did some research to try an ID it. Not so much the exact plant name but more what type of an orchid it is such as Odontoglossum or Oncidium. After that initial research I thought it was an Odontoglossum but then sometime after that I starting thinking it was an Oncidium and started putting it in the type of conditions that are favorable to Oncidium’s which to my understanding are basically the same as cattleyas. I have owned this plant for approximately one year now. In that time, it has grown some new chutes but has not flowered. It has very thin roots. Each individual root is approx. 1/32” in diameter. The roots look to be in good condition. However the foliage looks bad. Some of it is very corrugated. The pseudo bulbs are very wrinkled, with the exception of the new growth, and to me it looks like I have not been watering it enough but I water it when the skewer looks damp which is usually once a week. For about a month I have been watering it by letting it soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Since I have been doing this I really have not seen any improvement.
Is there a chance that it is an Odontoglossum and that it is getting too much sun?
