Culture Notes from Donor: Parent plant: Temperature range CI (58-75°F)
Comments: Oncidium oliganthum appears to regularly self pollinate the terminal flower or two flowers on an inflorescence when they have been left on the plant for a long time, and none of the other flowers have been pollinated. This may be a mechanism to ensure pollination when there are few pollinators or few other plants of the species. The self-pollination may occur late to allow time for the genetically more the desirable outcrossing to occur if possible.
Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

| Flask Information |
| Availability: |
We have sold all of the flasks for this item. |
| You should: |
Consider getting individual plants or compots instead of a flask.
You can place a "Notify Flask Recipients" Request, and either we or a flask recipient may contact you when plants are available.
You may also place a "Notify Retries" Request, and if an identical pollination (the same parents) is done again, we'll let you know.
You may reserve a flask, but it's very unlikely you'll get one ...this could only happen if we found a flask that we didn't know we had. |
| Yield Estimate: |
570 plants (based on flask surveys done 06/19/2008 through 02/10/2010)
|
| Plantlet Sizes: |
From many flasks 0.2 - 70 mm plants (based on flask surveys done 06/19/2008 through 08/09/2010)
From one most recently surveyed flask 30 - 70 mm (08/09/2010)
