Yes I meant Oncidium. If I had mistyped that any worse I might have been
band from the group!

Thanks for the info.

Do you perhaps mean Oncidiums?

In general, a badly shrivelled pb will never "plump up completely." The
newer ones should fill out at least a little, the oldest ones probably
not at all. It's nevertheless best to leave all of them on unless they
are diseased or completely desiccated; the new growth uses whatever
stored energy may be left in them.

After you have 2-4 nice-looking new pbs, then it would be safer to do
"cosmetic" removal of the older shrivelled pbs. Kenni

Some of the conidium's I have rescued the pseudobulbs are shriveled.
Even though they are showing growth the bulbs don't seem to be changing.
Will they eventfully regain their form or are they done for?
