I repotted the plant back into fresh sphag yesterday. From everything I've read, I think(?) it stands a better chance than the bark. It'll be the only orchid I do have in sphag. I've read that oncidiums are difficult plants to grow here in Florida. All my plants are kept on a screened patio (east exposure) and the summers can be brutal out here for air circulation and extremely high humidity 24 hrs. a day. My friend who had the plant before me, kept it in his backyard (in sphag), in direct sun (southwest) and aside from a few burn spots, it grew and produced flowers the 2 years he had it.
