Transitioning oncidiums from hydroton to bark

10 years ago
I've got two oncidiums, one is a regular size with 6 mature psuedobulbs and 2 newer ones, and the other is a smaller twinkle, with about 6 psuedobulbs. Both are currently in hydroton in plastic pots (this is how I received them), and though they're doing very well, I want to move them back to bark. The hydroton just isn't the right medium for this environment. Right now I've got to give them a thorough misting daily, and soak them once a week for about 30 minutes. They would probably like more, but I tend to forget a weekday soak. They made it through the winter, despite the horrible dryness in my house (thanks to the humidifier and the constant misting), so I'm calling it a win. Still, I think bark will be a better home for them.
I ordered some smaller oncidium bark mix from repotme, and I'm hoping that the bark will keep them damp for a few days at a time, and I can get a break from the constant misting. Does anyone have suggestions or advice on what to do before, during, or after?
