Oncidiums Intergenerics water needs vary depending on the temperature, light and humidity levels, and potting media.

Healthy, well-rooted plants should be allowed to dry between waterings. Others should be watered again when the media is still lightly moist.

A good way to judge when it is time to rewater is when the top one to two inches of potting mix feel dry to the touch. Another test is to note the weight of the plant after watering and again before rewatering. The plant and pot will weigh less as the media dries out.
