Orchid Beginner - Need Help!

[jessegranger]

Hi All!

My name is Jesse and I have an oncidium and a phalaenopsis orchid. I have been monitoring them closely because I bought them from Whole Foods here in OKC and I realized after repotting that there was no drainage from either pot. I examined the roots thoroughly and believe that both orchid can recover from this.

I saw that many more experienced orchid(ers) were suggesting bark for the phal. but I replanted in a chilean moss mixture that I bought from rePotme.com. Is this wrong? It was their suggestion for phals.

Also, the bulb on my oncidium is wrinkled. I did as another suggested and gave it a water soak for one hour. I am now letting it dry out in the window sill. I can post pictures of all of these things! I really hope I can get some good suggestions here!
