A primary hybrid of Onc. manuelariasii × Onc. noezlianum, offered here as a large, well-established specimen with a vigorous root system and multiple growths.

-
Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct midday sun, which can stress the foliage.
-
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 the established root system and promotes prolific flowering.
-
Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
