Oncidium imitans

An elegant species native to Central America, featuring robust, tightly clustered pseudobulbs that develop striking lanceolate leaves. The arching, multi-flowered inflorescences produce numerous beautifully sculpted blooms with prominently flared lips, offering a sophisticated and eye-catching presentation. Light: Bright indirect light with 40–50% shade; safeguard the foliage from direct afternoon sun exposure. Temperature: 59–82°F (15–28°C); a resilient intermediate grower that performs exceptionally well in standard indoor spaces. Humidity: 60–80%; high ambient humidity encourages strong vegetative growth and flawless flower spike elongation. Watering: Water thoroughly when the growing medium begins to approach dryness, ensuring optimal drainage at all times. Additional Notes This compact to medium-statured plant yields long-lasting flower spikes with medium-sized blossoms that remain pristine for several weeks. Ships bare root, well established, and requires a gentle rehydration at an intermediate temperature before potting into a loose, airy bark mixture upon arrival.
