Psychopsis versteegiana update

My small psycho seedling grew a nice and cute pseudobulb with clean perfect leaf:



Old leaves got some black patches that don't spread but do look quite ugly, so this new clean leaf is a good sign. I do make sure to keep it away from the sun because leaves get scorched by it a lot.

New bulb also got some nice roots:



I wonder how far from blooming this guy stands.

PS. Picture of the ugly black patches on the older leaves to follow up the conversation in the comments area. What is it?

Oncidium repotting

Couple leaves on my Oncidium Sharry Baby turned yellow.



I sort of freaked out. It could be the normal aging when old leaves die, but what if it is not. Orchid forum members pointed out that bark pieces used for potting are too large and maybe they don't retain enough moisture. Also maybe roots are dead and rotted?

To check the roots I pulled my oncidium from the pot:


Well, they are not the best but also not all dead and have plenty of new growing points.

I was also worried about Psychopsis that is potted into same large bark, so I pulled it out too:



Psychopsis roots seem to be fine also.
So I just picked the large pieces of bark out from medium and added a handful of coconut husk chips to the mix instead:



Then I potted both plants into their clay pots with new mix. Hope it will help to retain more moisture. I am not sure if I should remove yellow leaves or just let them be and they wll dry out and fall off at some point.

Psychopsis versteegiana

I was going to water my Psychopsis versteegiana and noticed some fattening under the sheath on one of the existing pseudobulbs.
When the sheath was carefully peeled away (probably shouldn't have done it, but couldn't help it), I discovered something that looks like a new pseudobulb start:



It is a great news - means that my psycho seedling is adjusting well to my care and environment.

Medium sized seedling of Psychopsis versteegiana potted into smallest clay pot with chc. I keep it on the sunny window just behind cattleyas, so it is getting quite bright light.
