A hybrid of Onc. vulcanicum × Onc. roseum, producing tall, erect racemes with multiple flowers opening in sequence, each displaying narrow, elongated sepals and petals in a star-shaped arrangement and a broad, rounded trilobed lip. Its floriferous, sequential blooming habit and graceful arching inflorescences make it a standout addition to any intermediate collection.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the strap-like leaves.
-
Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); thrives as an intermediate grower with a moderate nighttime temperature drop to encourage blooming.
-
Humidity: 50–70%; moderate humidity with good air circulation prevents fungal issues on the tall inflorescences.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged saturation at the roots.
Additional Notes
