Colmanara is an intergeneric hybrid (nothogenus) between Miltonia, Odontoglossum, and Oncidium. This is a pink form of the Colm. Massai cultivar which has deep pink star-shaped blooms that are about 2in in diameter. We love the hot pink lip. 

Blooms pictured are representative but may vary. Blooming size but will not arrive in bloom

 

COLMANARA CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Fine bark or fine bark and long fiber sphagnum mix. Repot in Spring once root bound (1-2 years).

Light: Bright indirect - medium light. Not picky about window direction but prefers to be within 3 ft of a window or plant light. Protect leaves from direct sun exposure to prevent bleaching.

Water: Water frequently (check the bark every other day) when media reaches dry. Do not allow to stay dry for long periods (pseudobulbs will shrivel, leaves will crisp and "accordion" with too little water). Slightly more drought tolerant than Oncidiums. 

Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min night, 90F max day).

Humidity: 40-60%, tolerant of moderate humidity.

Fertilizing: Heavy feeding Spring-Summer. 1/2-1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Decrease to monthly in winter once growth begins to slow. Run room temperature clean tap water through the potting mix once monthly to prevent salt build up.
