First Oncidium Blooms
 
Here are the first two Oncidium I succeed getting them to bloom.

I bought them in flowers mars 2017. I knew there were easy ones.

Oncidopsis (Vuylstekeara) Yokara 'Perfection' x oncidium leucochilum

I’m unhappy with that a leave is turning yellow though :roll: maybe not enough water recently ? I have a tendency to underwater as I am affraid of making these guys rot.

The plant is not that happy. I first grew it in SH but I gave up on it as I did not like it. It spiked when I switched it to an Oncidium small bark mix. I think it might enjoy a mix with some Sphaignum moss for more moisture, the bulbs are pretty shriveled ? Or at lease more watering.

Very pretty. Yes, more water, a moss mix might be good. I use that for mine.

Very pretty, and they look great!

Judging by the position of the yellowing leaf, I think it's just normal leaf aging/shedding.

That is the color of an old orchid leaf dying. The leaves do die, and fall off.

Congratulations on your success!:)
About the leaf...I agree it's just an old leaf.
