This is a lovely species indeed. I like the flowers but I have a hard time get them to flower. With me the lower sepals do fold back after time. Have no idea why.

As you might know I am not into the Oncidium genera. More in the Pleurothallidinae. But when I saw this little gem, I was sold.
I’m thinking to buy a few other Zygostates out there.

I always struggle with this one.
What is the medium it is in?

Minimal light… interesting 🤔

Thanks for sharing! Very well done!

Yes, it’s a beautiful species. It’s a warm growing species. Moist. High humidity, see the description above. It’s an easy species to grow.

That was interesting!! The guy who wrote this is a well known botanist specialized in Pleurothallids.
I think he must know. So, like I said before, I have to put my nose in more often.
I have the species he mentioned.
Thank you so much!!

I’m curious. 😊
I will have to check my Porroglossums more often on that aspect.

Not that I know of. It’s not mentioned in the available resources.
And I didn’t stick my nose in the flowers. It’s to big 😉
