Common Name: Cambria orchid (Oncidium hybrid)
Botanical Name: Oncidium hybrid
Former Name: Not available
Plant Type: Flowering houseplant (Orchid)
Plant Code / SKU: PLT-0252
Alternative Names:
Cambria orchid
Oncidium × cultivar
كالونا
Order: Asparagales
Family: Orchidaceae
Genus: Oncidium (hybrid)
Species of the genus Oncidium are native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas, from Mexico through Central America to South America. Cambria hybrids were first developed in Europe in the early 20th century and are now cultivated worldwide in greenhouse and home settings.
Pseudobulbs: Ovoid to slightly compressed, green, bearing one to two leathery, strap-like leaves.
Leaves: Glossy, elliptic to lanceolate, 10–30 cm long.
Flowers: Numerous star-shaped blooms on branching sprays, typically in shades of red with yellow accents and spotted patterns; individual flowers measure 2–3 cm across and can last for several weeks.
Overall height (including flower spikes): 30–60 cm (12–24 in).
Spread (foliage width): 30–45 cm (12–18 in).
Flower spike length: 30–50 cm (12–20 in).
Bright, indirect light; ideal at 1500–2000 foot-candles. Avoid direct midday sun to prevent leaf burn. East- or west-facing windows are preferred.
Water thoroughly when the top of the potting medium begins to dry (approximately once weekly). Allow excess water to drain; do not let water collect in the crown. Reduce watering during winter rest.
Use a coarse, well-draining orchid mix composed of bark chips, perlite, and charcoal. Repot every 1–2 years after flowering or when the medium breaks down. Clear pots help monitor root health and moisture levels.
Daytime: 18–24 °C (65–75 °F); Nighttime: 13–18 °C (55–65 °F).
Humidity: 50–70%. Increase ambient humidity with trays of water and pebbles or a room humidifier.
Apply a balanced orchid fertilizer (e.g., 20-20-20) at one-quarter to half strength every two weeks during active growth. Flush with clear water monthly to prevent salt buildup. Reduce feeding in winter.
Intermediate. Requires regular attention to light, humidity, and watering cycles. Remove spent blooms and decaying pseudobulbs after flowering to maintain airflow and plant health.
Propagate by division after flowering, ensuring each division has at least three to four healthy pseudobulbs. New growth emerges from the base of mature pseudobulbs, while flower spikes develop on last season’s growth.
Pests: Mealybugs, scale insects, spider mites. Diseases: Root rot from overwatering, fungal leaf spots. Symptoms include yellowing leaves, soft or mushy roots, black spots on foliage, and reduced flowering.
Highly decorative gift plant with long-lasting, showy blooms. Ideal for desks, reception counters, and living spaces. Enhances indoor ambiance and may modestly improve local humidity levels.
Non-toxic to humans and pets according to the ASPCA. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. Safe to handle; avoid prolonged contact with water-logged foliage to prevent fungal infections.
