Do this when you get home
- Put it somewhere bright, out of midday sun
- Oncidium roots like air. When the mix surface is slightly dry, water it through.
Day to day
- It likes humid air. Mist around it often, but don't let water sit in the crown.
- The spikes are thin. A stake, used gently, will hold them.
- After the flowers fade, cut the spike off at the base
Common questions
The pseudobulb (the ball under the leaves) is wrinkled?
It's thirsty, or the roots have rotted and can't drink. Check the roots first. Healthy ones are white-green and plump.
