Oncidium maduroi

Oncidium maduroi is a distinctive epiphytic orchid native to South America, known for its compact growth habit and charming yellow flowers with intricate patterns. This species produces small but numerous blooms on branching inflorescences, creating a delightful display of golden flowers that dance in the slightest breeze.

• Light: Bright, indirect light with some morning sun. East or south-facing windows with filtered light provide ideal conditions. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sunlight.
• Temperature: Intermediate temperatures between 16-26°C (61-79°F). Benefits from a slight nighttime temperature drop to encourage blooming.
• Humidity: High humidity levels of 60-80%. Use a humidity tray, humidifier, or group with other orchids to maintain adequate moisture.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when pseudobulbs show slight wrinkling. Allow good drainage and air circulation around roots between waterings.

Additional Notes:

The compact pseudobulbs store water and nutrients, making this species relatively drought-tolerant. Flowers typically appear in late winter to spring and can last several weeks with proper care.
