A hybrid of Onc. dracoceps × Onc. noezlianum, two Andean species known for their star-shaped flowers and arching, branched inflorescences. The narrow, lanceolate sepals and petals are well-spread, with a small lip bearing a bright yellow callus.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun exposure, which can stress the foliage.
-
Temperature: 50–72°F (10–22°C); an intermediate to cool grower that benefits from pronounced day-to-night temperature differentials.
-
Humidity: 65–80%; good air movement is important to prevent fungal issues at cooler temperatures.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; reduce slightly during cooler, drier periods.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a medium bark mix with excellent drainage. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to acclimate to your growing conditions.
