Let me start this post by detailing my past year with oncidiums.
They were the first orchid I dare buy after a couple years of success with a couple phals.
I bought 5 over the course of a few months.
They declined quickly.
Except the sharry baby. I think it might be impossible to kill it.
First the psuedobulbs shriveled severely. Then they flattened like cardboard, and became sort of limp.
They shot out new growths, and new roots. The growths rotted. The roots desiccated. The new growths accordioned severely.
I figured out largely that I needed to water more often. Among a few other things.
All five are still with me but have a long road of recovery ahead.
But this one. A mini twinkle like oncidium. A strange creamy greencolour. It was a large plant and had at least 15 new growths on it. Over time each new growth rotted off one by one.
Even after I figured out what I was doing wrong I still couldn't make it happy. The growths kept rotting.
So! In a last ditch effort to save it I decided to put it in this planter.
When I unpotted it i discovered that it wasn't a large plant at all. But had been a bunch of seedlings in one pot.
Anyway. I'm here to do a happy dance and report some success finally.
It's a tiny plant now. But I'm pleased to report that the growth rot has stopped. And, despite the neglect in the beginning, two of the remaining growths have turned into round fat psuedobulbs!
My first ever on an oncidium. As you can see from the picture they have a bit to go before it's psuedobulbs are their former size. But.....
Success!!!

yay so glad you finally are having success with it. I have tortured mine for years and yet it still blooms. I too am doing better by it.
