These miniature Oncidiums come in a wide range of colors and patterns and are rewarding and easy to grow. The hybrids are created from parents which are "twig" epiphytes in nature and require a fast-draining potting medium.
We grow them in small 2" or 2-1/2" clay pots with a few pieces of small charcoal. Other choices might be lava rock or Aliflor. The main thing is to choose a medium that allows them to dry out quickly after a watering. They are adaptable as far as light requirements and will grow equally well with Phalaenopsis or Cattleyas. Temperature requirements are intermediate to warm. After initial bloom, do not cut the flower spike because these Oncidiums will throw secondary spikes after the first flush of flowers providing an extended blooming period often lasting two months or more.
