Thank you for posting this, I have a similar situation with an oncidium and I’m quite new to taking care of them! I’ll have to repot mine and do the same
Thanks for the tutorial. It turns out I did a similar feat with my first Oncidium a few months ago, so your video has comforted me and affirmed this novice's decisions. My spring purchase, in spike, had been potted entirely in sphagnum, which never dried even if I waited 3 weeks; I was afraid I'd encourage root rot. An orchid society member suggested removing the plant to inspect the roots; as I feared, there was a small amount of root rot, so I decided to repot in bark/perlite/charcoal. But when? It had just begun to open its 87 flowers. I proceeded with the repot anyway, and am glad I did since the plant did not protest, and the bloom cycle came to a timely close 2 months after it began, so I was lucky in spite of breaking the rule of Thou shalt not repot an orchid in bloom.
Quick question Roger...have you ever seen an oncidium with cream coloured stripes along the edges of the leaves, just one stripe along each edge? I bought one in Florida at a farmers market pre covid and have it in my collection. I have never seen another . Regards, from Canada.
Let us know how they progress. I have had a similar situation with a Brassia inter. Some of these really creep. Thank you for your time again. That is such a good idea; how you planted yours! Do you still have your Brassia?
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Helloe; found your Brassia in the May 16, 2021 Large Oncidium vid. They're roots are heavier; thicker than most most oncid family members; no? Listened to their specific care several times. Thank you for getting back with me.
I've been bingo watching and in an episode I heard mention of an oncidium series. I've been searching thru ur videos but I cannot find that specific video. Could u give me the title for that video?
Oncidium types with tendency to climb are not easy to grow in the pot ( oh,my don't I know it ). Difficult to keep the roots getting into the media, but we all try, right? ☺️.Hope this one will grow nicely for you. 🤞🍀.
A Roger potting video,always a treat.🤗
Thanks.
No matter how many times I've watched your repotting videos, I always learn something new! 💜

You're welcome.
Like watching you do your reports thanks makes a change
You're welcome.
So nice to see you growing oncidiums! They've been a favorite of mine, but I don't think you were too fond of them in the past. xxo
I have quite a few in the Oncidium Alliance but not that many pure Oncidiums.

I've repotted many orchids in bloom - as long as the buds are open, it seems fine. Unopened buds may blast.
Mine was the same just roots on the oldest bulb, reminded me of the Sweet Sugar they also grow new bulbs without making new roots
I've never had one with the only roots this far back on the plant - and yet, there are signs of roots on the latest bulb?
@@RogersOrchidsGardenandBonsai Neither have I 😁 I have mine on life support it's not doing that well, it has a new growth but no roots
Don't forget on Sirius grow nice big bulbs and then they grow their Roots they grow opposite of other orchids
6:18 Looks like it says Orchid Fool 🤣
Brilliant.

I had one a long time ago with yellow edges to the leaves.
Do grow stone resemble gravel or pumice stones? Does it retain water or just open up air pockets in the media?
It's more like pumice and does hold some water.

I have two Brassias - Sea Breeze and Santa Barbara - both growing ok and as the bulbs are heading toward maturity, they should spike soon.

Why don’t you mount them on a long mount?

As long as there is a good root base in the pot, some climbing bulbs doesn't matter so much.
