Oncidium fuscatum f. alba

A rare alba form of a floriferous species from the cloud forests of South America, producing branched, arching spikes densely covered with medium-sized flowers. The broadly spreading sepals and petals display strongly undulate, fimbriate margins, while the large, rounded, bilobed lip bears a prominent central callus.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the foliage and fade the delicate blooms.
• Temperature: 55–75°F (13–24°C); an intermediate to cool grower that benefits from a nighttime temperature drop to stimulate flowering.
• Humidity: 65–85%; maintain good air movement to prevent fungal issues at higher humidity levels.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.

Additional Notes

Best cultivated in a fine bark or sphagnum moss mix in a well-draining container or mounted on cork. Plants are shipped bare root and well established.
