Oncidium minaxoides
A miniature epiphyte native to the cloud forests of Ecuador, producing slender spikes with small flowers arranged in tight clusters along the rachis. The narrow, lanceolate sepals and petals surround a compact trilobed lip with a rounded frontal lobe, a visible basal callus, and prominent column wings.
- Light: Bright indirect light with 50–60% shade cloth; avoid direct sun, which can stress the delicate miniature growth.
- Temperature: 57–75°F (14–24°C); an intermediate grower that appreciates stable temperatures with a slight nighttime drop.
- Humidity: 65–80%; high ambient moisture supports the fine root system and encourages consistent flowering.
- 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 very fine bark mix to suit its compact root system. Plants are shipped bare root, well established, and ready to adapt quickly to their new growing environment.
