Grow plants in intermediate to warm temperatures in bright but filtered light, with high humidity (40 - 60%). When watering, remember that these orchids have  pseudobulbs that act as water storage systems. Oncidiums like to approach dryness before they receive more water, but do not allow to dry out completely. Plant will flower when the new bulbs have formed. After flowering, give plants a slight dry out between waterings for 2 - 4 weeks, and increase watering once the new growth starts. Water approximately once a week. Pot with fine fir bark approximately every two years.
