Oncidium Christopher Merino

This charming hybrid between Onc. tenuoides and Onc. chrysomorphum displays delicate flowers on graceful branching sprays, rewarding growers with reliable blooming when provided with bright light and consistent moisture throughout the growing season.

• Light: Bright indirect to filtered light with 30-50% shade cloth. Tolerates some direct morning sun but protect from intense afternoon rays.
• Temperature: Intermediate to cool grower. Daytime 60-70°F (16-21°C), nighttime 50-55°F (10-13°C). Benefits from a 10-15°F day-night differential to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: 50-70% humidity. Maintain with humidity trays or room humidifiers. Ensure excellent air movement to prevent fungal issues on foliage and pseudobulbs.
• Watering: Water when potting medium approaches dryness, typically every 7-10 days. Maintain consistent moisture during active growth, reducing slightly during winter rest.

Additional Notes

Best grown mounted on cork bark or tree fern for optimal root health, though adapts well to small pots with medium bark mix and perlite.
