hello everyone!

I have an Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' AM/AOS in S/H. I bought it
last spring. So far, it has grown 4 new pseudobulbs for a total of 8 PS.
They are plump, big, no wrinkle!

Now, I was wondering, any special technique to get it bloom? To initiate
spike?
This is my first Oncidium that`s way I am asking!


I'd suspect that it will initiate some (probably many) inflorescences if
it gets a bit of a cool spell. With the cooler days of fall and winter
coming up, it won't be too hard. If you are growing in a window,
consider putting it outside in the garage at night for a week or two
(bringing it inside during the day). It would probably bloom without
that treatment, if you are lazy (like me) or patient (not like me).
