zigopetalum x oncidium care

[rbarata]

Hello, my friends
Based on my readings I've found that the care of both genera is similar. Am I right?
And what are the differences?
I have both and I'm providing the same conditions to them (same location): temps, light, watering, medium, etc.
So for this has been working fine for the oncidiums but I'm new to zigos.
Thank you

Maybe that's a stupid/obvious question...

In my experience, zygos need it to be considerably cooler than oncids, but I guess that it depends, to some extent, on the species involved.

I grow both and provide them with the same care. Keep them fairly moist and coolish.

I grow my oncidiums in temps 25ºC max (77 F) in summer and 12ºC min (54 F) in winter.
Are these temps ok?

Similar to how I grow mine, they are probably about 16C in the winter though, they do slow down, but no ill effects.

My zigo is a pbulb with young (and really small) leaves. I hope 77 F (25 ºC) it's not too much for it.
