Oncostele Wild Cat 'Rainbow'

A prolific Oncidium alliance hybrid of Rst. bictoniensis × Onc. Parade, producing freely branching, arching racemes densely packed with star-shaped blooms on slender dark scapes. The narrow, lanceolate sepals with bold bicolor maculae radiate outward around a broad, ruffled trilobed lip with a contrasting ornamental callo.

• Light: 50–70% shade cloth; bright indirect light with some morning sun. Adequate light is essential for strong pseudobulb development and blooming.
• Temperature: 58–82°F (14–28°C) — Intermediate grower. A 10–15°F nighttime drop in autumn helps trigger blooming cycles.
• Humidity: 50–70%; good air circulation is essential to prevent rot at the base of pseudobulbs.
• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the medium to approach dryness before watering again. Reduce frequency after pseudobulbs mature.

Additional Notes

Best grown in medium bark mix in a plastic or clay pot with excellent drainage. Ships bare root and well-established, with a healthy root system ready to settle into its new home.
