Wrinkled Pseudobulbs I have both a Brassia and an Oncidium with some fairly large Pseudobulbs when I acquired them. I have had them for about 8 weeks and have noticed they appear to be developing wrinkles.
Both plants have not lost their flowers although the Brassia is starting to. I water them once per week by soaking them for 1-2 hours in a Dynagro / Superthrive mixture. The area they are in retains a 50-60% humidity level and all the other orchids (phals and cattelya are doing great in this location)
The question is am I probably not watering enough? How do you get them to recharge quickly without overwatering the roots? Both plants sit on top of a humidity tray and the Brassia has now run a root into the collection tray.
I love the flowers this type of orchid produces but am concerned that I may be killing them through sheer stupidity.
Thanks.
