I swear, this plant is going to drive me insane. One of my leaves turned yellow. So now, I may be OVER-watering. I've seen what these plants can do, and I want mine to get big and full. It just looks unhappy. The bulbs are still slightly shriveled, but green, and the leaves are not all upright. Some are drooping. I repotted, but I think the bark I used may have been too big. I had heard oncidiums were easy to take care of, but this one is quickly becoming a pain in my butt. I'm not watering enough, I'm watering TOO much. It's being very picky. The roots are brown. Still very firm, but brown. I'm starting to worry that I may lose this plant.It's also completely possible, and very likely that I'm over-reacting. The plant is a healthy, bright green color, I'm just worried that I'm killing it. That yellow leaf REALLY freaked me out. Is it possible that it isn't getting enough sun? The woman at the flower shop told me that just plain old household lights would be plenty to supplement the plant, but now I'm not so sure...
