Old pseudobulbs will probably not grow leaves, but the new growths should
sustain it fine.

Paulo,
My guess is that the other growths will mature without any futher
problems.
Just be careful that the water does not accumulate in the nest of leaves
when you water. It seems that some Oncidiums dislike that puddle of
water.
Good growing,
Gene

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.
