Beallara Care?

[snowflake311]

I just got what looks like a beallara marfitch howard's dream. I want to know from others that keep it how they grow this plant? I need to repot it when it is down blooming.

From what I have read this is not a picky plant because it is such a mutt it can handle a wide range of light and temp. Is that true?

Any pointer are welcome. Thanks

Here is my new plant.

The shape is different than the all the common awarded clone, which basically looks like a large star fish. Yours look "stocky". I like yours better.

Beallara group basically takes the same care as oncidium hybrids. I read that they are bred to withstand less light, but I would still give plenty of light for abundant flowering.

You're right. This is an easy grower/bloomer.
Congrats!!!

Thanks. Only time will tell if I can get this to re bloom. I don't see it being a hard plant to grow. It might be my second fav orchid now. But it is so hard to pick favorites.

I love them because they have thick roots, in comparison to some, and that means less watering and less fuss. Beallaras are one of the better, no fuss oncidium hybrids. Sadly, I killed my Tahoma Glacier when I forgot to bring it inside during a hard freeze. I love Howards Dream too!
