Repotting Oncidium/Oncidium Hybrids , by navyderek.

I got the Odontocidium Wildcat 'Bobcat' shown in this tutorial a couple of weeks ago for a steal, it was on clearance as it had already finished blooming. It had been by itself, on its own little windowsill, since then just waiting for me to get a chance to repot it properly. I repot all of my Oncidium and Hybrids (Odontocidium, Degarmoara, Wilsonara, etc...) this exact same way, so I hope it will prove some use to the readers.

Excellent article, Derek! I know this will help everyone interested in repotting their oncidiums. Great photos too! Oh, and I had to laugh out loud at 'Kill-bad-stufficide' :D

Hah! I thought it was funny too. :) Thanks for providing a place we can read and post articles like this. I plan on adding a root trimming addendum to the artile on the next Oncid I buy with root troubles---which might be a while with the winter coming in earnest.
