Oncidium ascendens, a botanical species native to Central America, is a medium-sized orchid that thrives when mounted on wood. With an intermediate to warm cultivation temperature and medium to high light intensity, this orchid blooms once a year in autumn, filling your space with vibrant colors and delicate beauty. Although currently not in bloom, these newly imported plants may show signs of transport damage on the leaves, which is purely aesthetic and doesn’t harm the plant. To care for Oncidium ascendens, mist it daily and soak it in water once a week for a few minutes. In approximately one year, you can expect this orchid to grace you with its stunning blooms.
