Oncidium cirrhosum

A spectacular species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing pendulous inflorescences with multiple large flowers open simultaneously. The long, narrow sepals and petals are strongly recurved with distinctive thread-like, curling tips, framing a trilobed lip with a bright yellow callus — a hallmark of this iconic Andean species.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the broad foliage.
• Temperature: 46–68°F (8–20°C); a cool grower that thrives with distinct day-to-night temperature differentials to initiate blooming.
• Humidity: 70–85%; good air circulation is essential to keep the foliage healthy at cooler temperatures.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; reduce frequency during cooler months.

Additional Notes

Best displayed in a hanging basket or elevated position to showcase its naturally pendulous inflorescences. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to acclimate to your growing conditions.
