ONCIDIOPSIS CARE INFO:

Potting mix: Fine bark or long fiber sphagnum mix. Repot in Spring every 1-2 years.

Light: Bright indirect - medium light. North or East preferred. Protect leaves from direct sun exposure.

Water: Water frequently in hot months when media reaches dry (about once or twice a week). Slightly more drought tolerant than Miltonia/Miltoniopsis. 

Temp: Cool-intermediate (50F min night, 85F max day).

Humidity: 40-80%, tolerant of low humidity but prefers intermediate.

Fertilizing: Consistent feeding Spring-Summer. 1/2-1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer, every other watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Flush the pot once monthly to prevent salt build up. Decrease to once monthly in Winter.
