a few questions about my new oncidium
So, I got a new orchid today! I bought it from orchard supply, it was labeled Onc. Heaven Sweet "Sweet Baby". They were keeping it outside and I'm not sure if they brought it back inside at night or not. I think thats why it may be a little unhealthy. some of the leaves are yellowing a bit at the tips and in the middles a little bit, also the bulbs look kinda shrunken, compared to my miltassia anyways where all the bulbs are nice and smooth. I repotted it as soon as I got it home because the roots were super clumped and i wanted to change the substrate, it was in sphagnum moss. I'm keeping it next to my other miltassia in my room right now, on my desk by a west facing window with the blinds filtering the light. my fish tank keeps my room fairly warm and humid so i figured it would be a good place for them. Also The flowers fragrance has faded quite a bit since I got home, I have a fan in my room going so I was thinking that might have something to do with it. Or maybe it's because it got colder?So my questions were, what could the yellowing be from? Are the bulbs supposed to be kinda wrinkled like they are? Why did the flowers fragrance go away? Also I was wondering if someone could give me the actual scientific name for this plant if there is one that's more specific. It's not letting me post pictures for some reason, or even a link to my photobucket album this site is being mean to me...
