Default Oncidium flexorum

Paulo,

You may consider that during the repotting you may have done something to
damage the bud/growth.

I've also had Oncidium types abort a growth when I rotated the plant or
water laid in the new growth just because of the angle it was growing from
the pot.

I've also seen an individual growth rot when a fat handed gardener (no need
to point fingers here) in his anxiousness to clean up and see want was
happening around the growth accidently tugged on the growth or the paperthin
sheath that surounds it and damaging the new growth. When I see that guy
again I'm gonna fire him!

Good Growing,
Gene

I have repotted recently (2 motnh ago) and the bulbs are ok, the new

growth
died, and from the oldest bulb 2 new growth start. Otherwise, seems to be
ok...

Thanks

Yes it is, but usually only if something potentially lethal has happened

to
the newer bulb, as is apparently the case here since the new growth is
dying. It would probably be wise to repot, cutting off the newer bulb if
there are any signs of rot. Then I'd soak it in Physan for 15 min or so
before repotting.
