Oncidium strictum
A floriferous epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing slender, arching spikes with numerous small flowers well spaced along fine secondary branches. The ovate sepals and petals have a smooth texture with a gently undulate margin, while the trilobed lip features a broad bilobed frontal lobe with a rounded edge and a visible basal callus.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–65% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate branching spikes.
- Temperature: 50–68°F (10–20°C); a cool grower that thrives with distinct seasonal temperature variation and consistent air movement.
- Humidity: 65–85%; high ambient moisture supports vigorous growth and the production of airy, multi-branched spikes.
- Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the medium to approach dryness between waterings; never allow roots to sit in standing water.
Additional Notes
Best grown mounted on cork or in a fine bark mix with excellent drainage and good airflow. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
