    Default air roots...

    Hi, all!

    I'm new to the forum, been growing orchids for a couple years now..at least keeping them alive!

    My Oncidium bloomed for me the second year I had it (ths past summer), but it is doing some screwy root growth, as it is rooting from the base of one of the pseudo bulbs into the air. Just afters it grew these roots, it spiked and flowered from one of the bulbs that was rooting. I have a couple pictures and I wonder how I should care for this guy? The plant is not the best specimen, mostly because it took awhile to get the lighting figured out.

    I live in Centennial, a suburb of Denver, Colorado, I water twice weekly by putting the pot into the sink and flooding it until the roots go clear (know what I mean?).

    Any help will be greatfully received!

    Tim
