A primary hybrid of Onc. manuelariasii × Onc. noezlianum, producing arching, branched spikes with several medium-sized flowers. The narrow, elongated sepals and petals have recurved tips and a slightly velvety texture, while the compact trilobed lip features a rounded frontal lobe and a contrasting basal callus.
-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can stress the slender pseudobulbs.
-
Temperature: 54–72°F (12–22°C); an intermediate to cool grower that benefits from a nighttime temperature drop to encourage spike initiation.
-
Humidity: 65–80%; consistent moisture supports healthy growth and reliable flowering.
-
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 fine to 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.
