This hybrid combines Onc. kegeljani and Cyr. macranthum to produce impressive cascading inflorescences with vibrant, substantial flowers that showcase the best qualities of both parents.
- Light: Bright indirect light, equivalent to 50-70% shade cloth. East or west-facing windows work well indoors. Avoid direct midday sun.
- Temperature: Daytime 70-80F (21-27C), nighttime 55-65F (13-18C). A 10-15F drop between day and night promotes flowering.
- Humidity: 50-70% with good air circulation to prevent fungal issues.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when medium approaches dryness, typically every 5-7 days. Reduce frequency slightly in winter. Ensure excellent drainage.
