Default 3$ Oncidiums!

Today when on the hunt for clay pots, the manager of the tropicals department at Lowe's was in. She knows me from buying a ton of plants there. Anyways, she said they had a new orchid shipment coming monday and needed to clear what they had left - so i walked out with two Oncids that were 30$ for 3$ a piece and 4 BS Catts at about 1$ each.

The Catts are in almost perfect health but the Oncids on the other hand had some pretty bad rot. I took them out of the decomposing sphag and cut off a ton of roots, leaving all the new emerging roots. What do you guys think about bringing them back to health? I plan to let them dry out for the next few days and repot them in large bark ...

What's your opinion? I really hope I can bring them back and rebloom.









I obviously still have some cleaning up to do with the roots and removing the rest of that sphag ...

Here are two group shots of the Catts just for fun, I wish I could have bought more.
