Oncidium Jimmy Moreno

A spirited Oncidium hybrid from the cross between Onc. noezlianum and Onc. Cholita Cuencana, blending the long, arching spike habit and intricate floral patterning of the Andean species parent with the vigor and floriferousness of the Cholita Cuencana lineage.

• Light: Bright, indirect light under 40–50% shade cloth; consistent light levels promote strong pseudobulb development and reliable 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 paired with good air circulation keep foliage and roots in optimal condition.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness before the next watering; pseudobulbs should remain firm and plump at all times.

Additional Notes

Onc. noezlianum is native to the Andean cloud forests at mid to high elevations, lending this hybrid its cool tolerance and elegant spike habit. Best grown in a well-draining medium bark mix; repot every 2 years when the substrate begins to decompose.
