Colm. Wildcat "Bobcat"
 

Happy B-Day to me. Happy to have another Onc. Alliance. Been getting into them as of late. I read this one is an easy grower but any culture info would be great. How do you grow this one?

Great looking flower on it, Good luck with it

Thanks Ferns, Like your puppy/doggie.

Happy Birthday! May every member of the OB, get a beautiful orchid for their birthday! Enjoy.

Happy Birthday! I have a Colm Wildcat 'Wildcat' It seems to take just regular oncidium care. Orchid Wiz says one parent takes cooler temps and the other takes warmer, so intermediate would be good. I do grow mine cooler in the winter and warmer in the summer because it is in a greenhouse. Don't let the roots stay dry for too long. But because they are fine roots, don't keep them soggy either.

Yes, everyone NEEDS a birthday orchid. I wonder if this one would be a good candidate for S/H?

I have several Colmanara that I grow in S/H and they grow like weeds. In winter I have them in a window with southern exposure and water 2-3 times a week. The RH is usually about 50%. In summer they go outside in a shady spot and I water every other day. I would wait until early spring or until you see new roots starting before moving to S/H.

Thanks Bill, I will definately wait till I see new growth.
