Cultural Notes for Odontoglossum / Oncidium / Brassia Alliance
The Odontoglossum/Oncidium Alliance is becoming very popular both for ease of growing and long-lasting sprays of flowers. They can be grown in the home, on a stoep, as well as in a sheltered area in the garden or in the greenhouse. Oncidium types will bloom once a year, although some Odontoglossums have been known to bloom two or three times a year. All combinations of “Odonts” and Oncidiums and related types have been produced through hybridising and offer a wide range of colour patterns as well as cultural flexibility.
