In today’s video I’ll show you my Oncidium Hilo Firecracker “New Year”. She arrived very healthy and beautiful with massive bulbs, but when I repotted, it was unfortunately in a tightly packed root ball with small bark mix which was overdue to remove. Check the video down below - it was very difficult to remove the medium, it was very broken down. Sadly the repot led to a lot of broken roots and the bulbs started shriveling up and it wouldn’t establish in its new pot till this spring. It took a few months to establish a new root system, but now it’s on its way to a full recovery.
