Rejuvenating stressed Oncidium Orchids + Detailed explanations for each step!
Today we tend for the small Oncidium type orchids I purchased at a discount over the weekend!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
The most common problem with discounted orchids is dehydration. Oncidiums are not fond of being dry, so they will respond with shrivelled pseudobulbs. If caught in time the situation can be remedied with a few days of hydration!
After the orchids are hydrated we can proceed to repot them into a suitable pot and medium. I am using sphagnum moss mainly for my Oncidiums, it works the best in my environment.

I don’t expect to have severe setback, I think we got these guys just in time!
