Oncidium cristatum
A distinctive species from the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing branched, arching inflorescences with boldly patterned flowers. The narrow, strongly recurved sepals and petals bear dark blotches on a yellow-green ground, framing a small, bilobed lip with fine striations.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can scorch the narrow foliage.
- Temperature: 50–72°F (10–22°C); an intermediate to cool grower that benefits from distinct day-to-night temperature differentials.
- Humidity: 65–80%; 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 grown in a medium bark mix with excellent drainage. Ships bare root, well established, and ready to acclimate to your growing conditions.
