Temperature Adaptability

Summer: Thrives in temperatures between 28-35°C.

Winter: Comfortably grows in cooler climates ranging from 18-25°C.

Light Requirements

To ensure 'Gina' reaches her full potential, place her in bright, diffused light. Utilizing shading nets that filter out 70% of direct sunlight helps regulate the light intensity around 10,000 lux, allowing her to flourish without being exposed to excessive heat.

Watering and Soil Needs

While 'Gina' has no specific soil or fertilizer requirements different from other Oncidium orchids, her medium should be monitored carefully. Orchids typically absorb moisture from the air, so ensure the medium is slightly dry before watering. It's crucial to maintain good air circulation to prevent water retention and root problems.
