New Oncidium Twinkle Repotting Question
Hello, I purchased this Oncidium Twinkle Pink Profusion about 3 weeks ago. I have wanted one for a while and was thrilled when I saw this one at a local nursery. It is my first oncidium of any kind so I have some learning to do. It is on my East facing screened porch outside now. I am guessing it would like that more than an east facing window inside.
My question is, should I repot it or leave it alone right now? I usually repot new orchids immediately but this one I hesitate for several reasons. It is is a square 3" plastic pot with drainholes in the bottom. As far as I can tell it is in a small bark and spongerock mix. I don't think there is sphagnum, as it is very light and water runs right through and there frankly is just not enough room to have much if any of any mix. It has a spike on its was out (I think?) and 2 spikes growing, and 3 new pseudobulbs starting - one of the front edge, one on the back edge, and one right in the middle. I am not sure if I am ok leaving it until next spring (I think I'll need to water very often in this tiny pot) or if I should raise the pot size a tiny bit now to ensure room for new growths.
Thanks for any advice as always!
