Not Blooming

[jhiland]

How do you recommend getting more light? I'm on a semi-tight budget and can't afford anything fancy. I live in Wisconsin, should I bring it outside to a western shaded balcony? The temps are in the 90's though.

Oncidiums are medium to bright orchids, similar to Cattleyas. Summering outdoors will help if there is enough mid-day shading. Wintering will require a South facing window to achieve enough light. Check your leaf color. Dark green leaves on an Oncidium indicates insufficient light.
