I have read that fine rooted orchids prefer fine orchid bark mix. I have repotme oncidium mix. Would you suggest that for these two orchids? I also have a phal mix...Thank you as always!

The finer bark is best for the Oncidiums. I do like bark better than sphagnum. I'm not familiar with the specifics of the repotme mix, but I suspect that it does retain a bit of water, which is what Oncidiums need. They don't like to be soggy, but should never dry out. The Phal mix probably dries faster - which is what Phals want, but the more water-retentive mix is better for the Oncidiums.
