New growth on Aliceara Matthias 'Glamour'

Aliceara Matthias 'Glamour'

     There is a new growth on my oncidium intergenic, Aliceara Matthias.  The growth is a couple inches tall and growing strong. It has also put out a cluster of new roots, making me very hopeful that this orchid will soon recover and begin to thrive.

The growth has a cool pinecone-like shape to it.

Two new growths on Oncostele Pacific Perspective

Oncostele Pacific Perspective

     The two newest pseudobulbs on this oncidium have matured and have now produced two growths of their own.  This probably means that the orchid won't be blooming for me this season.  However, I am perfectly happy with that if it means a larger show next year.

     The roots have grown quite aggressively since the last repotting in September.  At that point, the orchid was losing pseudobulbs to rot and had hardly any roots at all. Fungicide treatment appears to have fixed the rot issues, and now the orchid looks like it needs another repotting to a larger pot already.  How much longer should I wait?
