Oncidium Burgundian - Orchid Board

Hi there!

I just bought a Oncidium Burgundian. It is currently by my balcony windowed door (appartement life...), facing south. Light gets in from 10am to 1pm approx. It is currently blooming (with 3 more flower spikes to bloom soon).

Any tips or special recommendations? I am a beginner, so, do you think I can manage to keep it alive???

I have this oncidium and many others and this one is positively thriving on my window sill in a mixture of course bark and sphagnum moss. I soak it every week and it does wonderfully. Its roots are filling the pot so very fast. The easiest oncidium I have ever had (only been doing this about 2 1/2 years). I got this one at my local orchid shop for $5 in oct of last year and it hasn't bloomed yet.

Very beautiful. I' re never seen this cross before, but I'll be looking out for one.

Oncidium In general grow well for me but I did have a disappointing bloom one my sherry baby. It bloomed for me I was so happy but all flowers fell off after a month. I stressed the plant out I think moving it around inside and outside.

Besides that they grow really well and are not too picky. They Are a good next orchid to get.
