Oncidium orchids are one [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] of the most assorted and oldest kinds of orchids on the planet. They were once characterized as demanding and needy. Today, they have been grown anywhere where the weather is moderate and on the cooler side. They are in fact not that difficult to cultivate (if you know what to do), and they grow blooms that are vibrant and sweet-smelling.
These kinds of plants mostly flower once every [url=http://www.jordanpascherofficiel.com]air jordan pas cher[/url] year with colors varying from white to dark red. Their blooms are often described as butterfly look-a-likes or dancing ladies. If you [url=http://www.jordanpascherofficiel.com]air jordan[/url] want to grow healthy oncidium orchids, here are the 8 dangers to avoid when growing them:
Providing too much light. Oncidiums are a particularly tricky kind of orchid when it comes to light requirements. Usually they require direct sunlight for a couple of hours when they are beginning to grow and produce blooms.
Once the blooms come in, you should relocate your oncidium to a colder area where there is no direct sunlight to burn its flowers. The oncidium hybrids, though, are not the same. They need filtered light to develop and grow.
Overwatering. Overwatering and under-watering are the most usual mistakes when it comes to any orchids. While oncidiums have quite different moisture needs during their periods of growth, they should never be overwatered.
Here is the general rule of thumb you should keep in mind to water your plants the right way. When they are starting to grow and beginning to flower, provide plenty of water. After they bloom, give them less.
Their roots like water but you must give the proper drainage or the roots will drown and die. If you notice the top compost is becoming dry, then it is a sign that it must be watered again.
Leaving them in one place for the entire year. Placing these kinds of orchids in just one place all throughout the year is not wise. Every summer they [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] can be left outdoors to soak in proper sunlight and during winters they must be kept in places such as greenhouses or orchid cases.
They grow best in areas where the temperature is somewhere between 80°F -85°F during the day and 55°F-60°F at night.
Not giving them the proper humidity levels. When it comes to humidity levels, oncidium orchids require 40%-50%. When it's warm, be sure to raise the humidity level by misting or by making a bed of small stones with water on a tray below the orchid. The perfect humidity level for these kinds of orchids is between 55%-75%.
Using the wrong potting medium. Selecting the wrong potting medium can be harmful to the growth of your oncidiums. These kinds of orchids, when grown in cultivation or even in the wild for that matter, are quite insatiable when it comes to food. Although they can flourish and thrive when cultivated in leafmold compost, you should still use the perfect medium for epiphytes, which is osmunda.
Osmunda is ideal for orchids with very thin root systems, as most oncidiums have. Its fibers are ideal for giving them the proper drainage for the orchid. If feasible, put as little compost as possible. It doesn't require a lot, or the plant will drown in its medium.
Put the medium around the roots of the [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich parka[/url] orchid and don't [url=http://www.mansmanifesto.fr]doudoune moncler homme[/url] shove it all in. Leave it loose so that air can circulate through it. You can create a layer of pebbles at the base of the conatainer or a thin layer of gravel at the top of the compost for extra support.
Potting them improperly. When it comes to containers, it is never wise to get [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm[/url] a big one for oncidiums. These orchids are the kinds of orchids that do well in tiny, confined pots. The truth is the smaller the size of the [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] pot, the better. Big containers leave the compost wet and overly damp. This is not good for the roots because it will easily cause them to rot.
Over-fertilizing. Because oncidium orchids [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] are insatiable when it comes to fertilizer, you should give them regular fertilization or [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister[/url] they'll be unhealthy. Feed them [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]nike air jordan pas cher[/url] once every month with either liquid fertilizer or ground manure, and they will do well. Be sure to flush out any salt deposits after each month to avoid burning their roots.
Repotting. Unnecessary and untimely repotting can destroy any orchid. But because these species of orchids have very thin and short roots, repotting them can be a tricky [url=http://www.americatownmovie.com]jordan pas cher[/url] job. Repot them every two years or so, and yours will be happy. Be sure to give them enough water after repotting to ensure the growth of their roots.
Knowing these 8 dangers to avoid will allow your oncidium orchids to thrive to their fullest potential and save you a lot of time and hassle.
