Oncidium macranthum nanum

This charming dwarf Andean orchid is celebrated for its impressive large flowers on a compact plant, making it an excellent choice for collectors seeking cool-growing orchids with dramatic blooms in a manageable size perfect for limited growing spaces.

• Light: Requires bright, filtered light without direct sunlight. Provide consistent lighting conditions to support healthy growth and robust flowering.
• Temperature: Thrives in cool to intermediate conditions with daytime temperatures of 59-72°F (15-22°C) and cooler nights of 50-59°F (10-15°C) to promote flowering cycles.
• Humidity: Demands moderate to high humidity levels of 60-80% with excellent air movement to replicate its natural cloud forest environment and prevent fungal issues.
• Watering: Water regularly during active growth, allowing the medium to approach dryness between waterings. Maintain consistent moisture year-round with slight reduction during cooler months.

Additional Notes

The dwarf variety 'nanum' offers all the beauty of the species with substantial flowers that are notably large relative to the plant's compact stature, making it ideal for windowsill culture and small growing areas where space is at a premium.
