Dear Fellow Orchid Enthusiasts:
Last Sunday I purchased for a pittance an Oncidium
(don't know the variety) that is almost completely
dehydrated. It's pseudobulbs are shrivelled almost flat, though they
and most of the leaves are still green. I'm hoping one of you experts
(which I'm not) could give me some advice as to rehydrating it without inducing
rot. I soaked for 15 minutes or so upon getting it home, let it dry out
and watered again Wednesday, but it seems as if the medium is taking longer than
normal to dry, I suppose because the roots are not taking up the moisture, and
there has as yet been no "plumping-up" of the bulbs.
If I can I'd love to keep it alive and flowering,
so any expert advice would be greatly appreciated.
