Oncidium dracoceps is a unique and fascinating orchid species known for its captivating appearance and distinctive features. Native to South America, particularly in countries like Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, this epiphytic orchid stands out due to its peculiar pseudobulbs, which resemble dragon's heads or faces, earning it the common name "Dragon's Head Orchid." These pseudobulbs have a striking resemblance to mythical dragon figures, with intricate facial markings and features. The plant produces graceful arching flower spikes adorned with small, fragrant blossoms that vary in color from yellow to green. Oncidium dracoceps is highly valued for its ornamental and curious characteristics, making it a prized addition to orchid collections and a conversation starter among plant enthusiasts. Proper care includes providing bright, indirect light, maintaining consistent moisture levels, and using a well-draining orchid potting mix to ensure its well-being and growth.
The packaging was really great, my only complaint is the plant is definitely way smaller than what I was expecting. In comparison to the offered photo and price I wish I would have known the plant was going to be so small before I purchased
I ordered four Vandas with Ecuagenera and all of them were beautiful and healthy, with plenty of long silvery plump roots. They have no bloom spikes yet, but hopefully soon. Thank you.
I gave my purchase 3 stars only because prior purchases were ok. This purchase was in very bad shape however. Packed well for shipping, but it was like putting lipstick on a pig. Hopefully I can help this purchase recover.
