Description
A pretty, light purple-flowering miniature from Cuba. We offer them bare root, or sometimes in small clay pots.
Cultural Notes:
Tolumnias were previously known as “equitant Oncidiums” and are adapted to bright, breezy conditions. In nature, they are found growing exposed on twigs and shrubs, where roots dry quickly after rain.
- Light: Bright, filtered light; strong light encourages compact growth and flowering.
Water: Water frequently during active growth, allowing roots to dry quickly between waterings. Reduce water in winter when growth slows.
- Humidity & Airflow: 50–70% humidity with good air circulation is ideal.
- Potting: Best grown mounted, or in small clay pots/baskets with an open, fast-draining medium such as large bark or charcoal. -Avoid keeping roots constantly wet.
- Temperature: Warm to intermediate (60–85°F).
