A graceful hybrid of Onc. peltiforme × Onc. noezlianum, offered here as a large, well-developed plant ready to bloom. It produces long, arching, branched spikes densely set with small to medium-sized flowers of a distinctly spidery habit, with narrow, strongly reflexed sepals and petals and a small, trilobed lip with a neat central callus.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage.
-
Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); an intermediate to cool grower that benefits from a nighttime temperature drop to encourage blooming.
-
Humidity: 65–85%; good air circulation is essential to prevent fungal issues at higher humidity levels.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best cultivated in a basket or mounted on cork to allow the arching spikes to cascade freely. Plants are shipped bare root and well established.
