My Sharry Baby Has Some Issues...

[orchidee_de_la_mer]

Hi!

I bought a Sharry Baby Oncidium about a year and a half ago for Christmas... it had long beautiful stems with crazy, stuning flowers, bringing a beautiful chocolaty scent into my living room every afternoon... The thing is... they lasted for about a month and than ever since, the health of my orchid went pretty much downhill: every new growth of an eventual pseudobulb got avorted, certain leaves became yellow, the bulbs where shrivelling-unshrivelling eaven though I watered them regularly, I heard it requiered a lot of sun, so in the summer I put it outside on my veranda and it started to turn very pale green, so I moved it a little away in a slightly shadier spot, than it turned very dark green... eventually fall came and it went back into the house... during the winter it lost a couple more leaves and by spring I found a scale farm living on it.

Arrrg!!!!

I'd like to have it bloom again but I don't know what to do with it anymore!

Here are a couple of pictures of its state today!

Thanks!!!
