Oncidium hennisii

Oncidium hennisii

A charming miniature species from the cloud forests of Ecuador and Peru, prized for its compact growth habit and delicate sprays of small, fragrant flowers.

  • Light: Bright indirect light, equivalent to 50-70% shade cloth. Protect from direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn.
  • Temperature: Cool conditions with daytime 60-70°F (16-21°C), nighttime 50-55°F (10-13°C). A consistent 10-15°F temperature drop between day and night is essential for healthy growth and flowering.
  • Humidity: 60-80% with excellent air circulation. This cloud forest species requires high humidity and constant gentle air movement to thrive.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly when medium approaches dryness, typically every 4-6 days. Maintain consistent moisture year-round without allowing the medium to dry completely. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

Additional Notes

Native to Andean cloud forests at 2,000-3,000 meters elevation. Produces multiple branching sprays with small yellow-brown flowers marked with distinctive patterns. Adapts well to mounted culture or small pots, ideal for cool growing collections.
