Kevin, this oncidium was the other plant my friend gave to me for the same reason he gave me the dendrobium....hates the plant when not flowering. It had been facing south/west directly and these markings are what resulted from direct sun.

It was planted in sphag. for the last 2 years since he's had it. I ran this plant under running water for 2 hours non-stop on Sat. evening, carefully removing tightly packed mounds of the stuff. I didn't re-pot it until the next morning and when I did, the roots were all still quite damp. I potted it into dry, NOT pre-soaked bark media on purpose thinking that it would cause rotting, otherwise. I lost very little roots surprisingly, maybe 5% loss on a massive root system.

Should I submerge in water for a 1/2 hour this coming watering? The pseudo bulbs look quite shrivled although, I'm not educated or experienced enough especially with oncidiums to know the difference and how to treat them.

Should I be doing more for this plant or something different?
