You’re a girl after my own heart- I also love the patina of aged terra cotta pots!! 🥰 I also removed my Kingwood orchids from their moss balls yesterday/today (I’m laughing because I also did the job on the dining table but over a large paper bag and when I was nearly finished my husband said I should have used our pizza box from dinner last night…wish I’d thought of that! 🤣🤦🏻♀). Regarding the moss balls, one of my twinkles (Yellow bird, I think) was packed rather tightly that upon unwrapping it I discovered a tiny new growth that was struggling to emerge and one of its leaves already has a brown spot. 😔Two of its oldest/smallest pseudo bulbs had also become separated from the rest of the plant at some point possibly when being removed from the grower pot or when it was wrapped in moss. The kokedama technique looks really pretty but it’s just not sustainable for long term orchid growing. Just for a fun experiment I planted those rogue pseudo bulbs in the pot anyway since they still look plump and green, who knows, maybe they’ll decide to throw out a new growth?! 😄 🤷🏻♀🤞🏻 Enjoy your new orchids, I also have some coming this week- cattleyas!! 🥰🙌🏻 Thanks for the shout out! ❤
Too funny, I thought of the pizza box due to it having low sides. My husband wanted to know why I have it in the laundry room. More repotting to do. Lol yes, I'm glad you potted the loose bulbs, you never know, I bet they will grow on for you.
I just got my first oncidium a few weeks ago as part of a seller's pick box. It's a pacific pagan 'dancing kilauea.' I told the seller I was nervous about orchids that get huge, so hopefully he listened and it will stay compact. I do the same thing with some hoya species as you did with twinkles. I have about four varieties each of verticillata and carnosa.
Wow Wonderful flowers ~

I also have a yellow bird that I purchased from them a few weeks ago.
Very nice healthy plant!
Thank you EJ

You'll do great with an oncidium
