Brassidium Cholita Gualacena

A floriferous hybrid of Brs. aurantiaca × Onc. Cholita Cuencana, producing large, star-shaped flowers of fiery intensity. The long, tapering sepals and broad petals are vivid red-orange densely mottled with bright golden-orange, while the large trilobed lip is golden-yellow with red markings at the base — a bold, flame-toned display of exceptional visual impact.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 30–50% shade cloth; tolerates more light than most Oncidium alliance hybrids.
• Temperature: 54–75°F (12–24°C); an Intermediate grower. Tolerates brief dips to 50°F (10°C) if kept dry.
• Humidity: 60–80%; maintain good humidity with strong air movement.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; avoid prolonged root saturation.

Additional Notes

Best grown in a small pot with free-draining bark mix or mounted on cork. A slight seasonal dry period and temperature drop encourage blooming. Plants are shipped bare root and well-established.
