Repotting an Oncidium orchid.
Which pot to use? - I use terracotta cos I'm that kinda guy but you can use any pot that works for you with good drainage and aeration.
I add a touch of Mycorrhizal fungi powder to the medium which promotes healthy root growth and mineral uptake.
What mix to use? I use 50% bark with the rest an even mix of charcoal, organic perlite and shell grit. Oncidiums like a light mix but work with whatever is suitable for your climate - Oncidiums DON'T like to dry out and DON'T like wet feet!
Good luck!

You inspired me to repot my last orchid in a terra cotta pot.

Question how often do you water it ? I water mine every 14 days

Depends on the season and temperature...3-10 days.

Hi there! Wondering why you add charcoal? Also, I'm curious about your preference for clay plots over say, plastic w/ holes/slits? Is it just aesthetics or do you find that the orchids respond better in clay?

Hi there - charcoal acts as an aerator so it keeps the mix light and it's also a natural anti-bacterial so it helps keeps the mix at optimum health for the roots. As to clay: aesthetics and a wish to not use plastics. Thanks for watching!

@@helloplantlovers I prefer terracotta too. I have an oncidium twinkle 'Lemon Jelly' x Joel that has just about finished flowering for me, that is going to get a fancy new pot very soon, as it has just started its Spring growth. It is currently potted in polystyrene and perlite, which is how it came. My calcium will come from crushed eggshells.

After repotting my Oncidium my bulbs became wrinkled, should I be worried ?
@helloplantlovers
@helloplantlovers Год назад
Depends! What condition were they in? Did they have roots? Re-potting when there's new growths producing new roots is best. Don't be tempted to over water it though! Patience and regular Oncidium care should see you right.

@@helloplantlovers ♥👍It was in terrible shape , but it was what the seller sent me , when I checked for any new growth there was none and the roots were in sorry shape.. Some sellers have no shame.. I guess time will tell, but I don't think I will hold my breath waiting for this poor thing to recover . It's bulbs are as wrinkled as I am 😅

@@keepsmiling704 Oh dear - sometimes it's just not worth the battle! But try it in a largely sphagnum moss mix and a bit more humid than normal and see if you can stimulate a new growth which will produce new roots. You won't get new roots from the old bulbs unfortunately. Good luck!
