Oncidium Amazon Tiger

A vigorous Oncidium hybrid from the cross between Onc. Lovely Hood and Onc. Jane, delivering densely branched spikes laden with boldly marked, tiger-patterned flowers that make an immediate impression. Its intermediate-cool tolerance and free-flowering nature make it an excellent choice for collectors seeking reliable, high-impact blooms.

• Light: Bright, indirect light under 40–50% shade cloth; consistent exposure supports strong pseudobulb growth and prolific spike production.
• Temperature: Intermediate to cool grower. Daytime 62–75°F (17–24°C), nighttime lows of 50–57°F (10–14°C); a pronounced day-night differential is key to initiating bloom spikes.
• Humidity: Prefers 60–75% relative humidity; humidity trays or a humidifier with good air movement keep roots and foliage in optimal condition.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness before the next watering; reduce slightly after pseudobulbs have fully matured.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a well-draining medium bark mix; repot every 2 years or when the substrate begins to decompose, ideally just after flowering when new roots are emerging.
