Mine are VERY green and sprouting all over so I will move one into more
light. Also cut out the feeding, I will do that. The little buggers
seem to have very little roots, has always been that way. So, I have
been trying to get more roots, moved them out of wood crate pots that
had charcoal, bark and a bit of Coconut fiber into expanded clay
pebbles in hopes of better root production. (the crates were rotting
also). Sure do thank you for the information!

You said you have Oncidiums. They will always have fine roots.
Nature of the beast. A Phal or a Catt can have roots 1/4 inch thick,
but an Onc or any of that group have roots like tomatoes - thin and
branching.
