Aliceara Samurai Culture This hybrid is a cross between Aliceara Hani and Oncidium schroederianum. The Aliceara genus name is used for hybrids that combine the genera Brassia, Miltonia, and Oncidium. It is a medium-sized orchid prized for its ease of culture and long-lasting flowers. Light: Prefers bright, but indirect light. Direct midday sunlight should be avoided as it can burn the leaves. An east-facing window is ideal. Temperature: Thrives best in intermediate temperatures. Ideal daytime temperatures are 18-25°C (65-77°F), with a night drop to approximately 12°C (54°F) to encourage flowering. Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity, ideally between 50-70%. It's important to ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal problems. Watering: Watering should be regular. Let the top portion of the potting medium dry out slightly between waterings, but do not allow the medium to become completely dry. Additional Notes Floral Characteristics: Aliceara Samurai produces tall, upright inflorescences, with light, spidery-looking flowers. The flowers can vary in color from a pale pink to a deep red, with the lower lip typically white. They are lightly fragrant and very long-lasting.
