What is a Beallara?
 
I'm not familiar with this type of plant. I don't know what category it falls into or how to care for it. Does anyone have a care sheet?

The one I have is Bllra Tropic Tom 'Kinky.'

Thanks!

A Blra is part of the oncidium alliance. They require moderate light (dappled shade is good), high humidity, and more frequent watering (2-3x per week depending on the coarseness of the media)than something like a phal. They also need good air movement because they do require good humidity, this helps prevent rot. They have thin roots and can get accordion pleating in their leaves if the humidity/watering isn't sufficient. You can visit AOS | Home and read the care sheet for oncidiums and this will give some more info about your blra :D Hope that helps!

Oh, thank you. I will treat it like an Onc. then. Wish me luck!
