Wilsonara Orchids ( aka Wils )

without comments

Wilsonara (Cda x Odm x Onc ) orchids are crosses between Cochlioda, Odontoglossum and Oncidium orchids.

Wilsonara orchids require more light than most orchids. I give mine several hours of very bright, indirect sun. No direct sun.

Keep moist but not sitting in water. You’ll probably want to plant this orchid in sphagnum moss or potting soil.

Temperature should be above 50′F

This is an easy to grow orchid.
