My research on the Internet suggests Oncidium cebolleta grows best mounted. Mine came potted in a rough bark mix. It is a young plant, three leaves, each 4 inches long. As a windowsill grower, I would prefer to keep growing it potted. But I read it is suceptible to rot - so do I better mount it? Daily watering of mounted orchids will be a problem during vacations. How long can a mounted Oncidium ceboletta survive without being watered?
If it is kept outside during summer, exposed to the rain, I suppose mounting it is a must. As a third option, somewhere in between mounted an potted, I could switch it to be potted in clay pebbles (lecaton) as an airy medium which retains little water. I live in germany, temperature zone 7b. _______________________________________________ the OrchidGuide Digest (OGD) [email protected] http://orchidguide.com/mailman/listinfo/orchids_orchidguide.com
