× Oncidopsis Nelly Isler gx

Grow in epiphytic orchid compost , provide bright filtered light, good ventilation and in spring and summer water freely as compost dries out, use half strength orchid fertiliser at every third watering and mist daily for high humidity. Reduce watering in winter and allow a 4 week period of day time temperature around 10°C to encourage flowering. Re-pot every 2-3 years as the new growths are emerging from the base of the pseudobulbs before flowering

No pruning required, remove spent flower spikes

Propagate by division when plants are large enough to be divided into clumps of 2 - 3 pseudobulbs

Aphids, glasshouse red spider mite and mealybugs may be troublesome

Generally disease free
