A striking hybrid of Onc. Luis Salazar × Onc. alexandrae, producing upright spikes with large, showy flowers. The elongated sepals and petals are gracefully twisted at the tips, while the broad lip displays a richly ornamented central callus with fine spotting across its surface.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the foliage and pseudobulbs.
-
Temperature: 57–75°F (14–24°C); an intermediate grower that benefits from a slight nighttime temperature drop to encourage blooming.
-
Humidity: 60–80%; consistent humidity supports healthy leaf development and prolongs flower longevity.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best grown in a medium bark mix with good drainage and airflow around the roots. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
