onc. growth
I have in the last 6 months moved some old onc. that have grown slowly but,
not bloomed in over 15yrs. under a metal halide fixture at work 400w. The plants have taken off. My question is about the new growth. It is leaf after leaf like a phal. some are 15 to 20 sets high but no bulbs. Is this normal? Should I also throw a hps fixture in also? Thank you , Tony Saris |

Sure it isn't a Tolumnia (equitant Oncidium)? -- Chris Dukes Suspicion breeds confidence -- Brazil |

These plants are now in the genus Tolumnia. As you've discovered, they like it bright. You should get some nice blooms soon. J. Del Col |
