Acclimating to Inside?
Default Acclimating to Inside?

Hi!
I have an NOID Oncidium that I normally have outside on a light-filled deck. It just started spiking (I spotted the first a week ago, and the second today).
My question: I'd love to bring it inside to enjoy the flowers, but also don't want to disturb its blooming. Is there a nice way to acclimate it to the inside, or should I just leave it outside and sip my morning coffee near it to enjoy the blossoms?
Thanks!

If you don't have the heat on yet, then it's a perfect time to being it in, in my opinion. I try to shoot to being things in about 2 weeks before I turn on the heat so things can acclimate before i turn on the dry heat from the heater. I bring in oncidium a and Dendrobiums already spiking and or flowering and have had no issues with blooming. Just be sure to avoid a direct air blast if you do have your heater on. Nice and slow does the trick for me.
