Can you help me identify this lady?

[Mocres]

I've found this orchid in a supermarket, the label said it's a cambria... But this is just a commercial name. Can anyone identify it, so that I can learn how to look after it?

Thanks a lot.

I can't help you with its name but I sure wish they had orchids in my stores like this one. Its very pretty.

It's from the Oncidium group. Maybe a Vuylstekeara type. The Oncidium group has thousands of hybrids so without a tag, it can't be identified specifically. so many can look similar.
Just normal Oncidium care should be good for it. It's lovely.

Thanks a lot!

I've never had an oncidium before, so I'm gng to look for information about how ho care for it. I want to make it happy!

They don't like to dry out, but have well drained media. Usually medium sunlight and many can take warm to cool temps. Keeping it intermediate is likely the safest bet.

Beautiful flower!

A definite ID of this hybrid will not be possible. There are just too many similar hybrids, all variable in appearance, and many unregistered unnamed unknowable indistinguishable hybrids among the mass market orchids. But silken is right in calling it a Vulstekeara type (though that name is no longer current), making it very close to the original Vulstekeara Cambria that became the commercial name for the group. Care instructions for that type are readily available, and essentially the most generic care for the Oncidium alliance. Just keep in mind that this type can be stressed by heat, and tend to gradually get weaker if nighttime temperatures stay warm.

Thanks a lot!
I know it's practically impossible to identify the hybrid, but just knowing it's an oncidium is a great help.

I've been reading about them, and most people agree to transplant it when there is new growth. Do you think it would do well in leca? I use it for my phals and they are more confortable in this material than in bark or sphagnum.

Semi-hydroponic growing is growing in various forms of LECA. In the S/H forum here lots of people report success with many Oncidiums except for the Tolumnia group. I have Oncidium group plants doing well in S/H in LECA, though I try and stay away from things that don't like warm weather.
