Alcra Yellow Star

[alannanoelle]

I just purchased a new orchid, labeled "Alcra Yellow Star." It's obviously very different from the Paphs and Phals that I already have, so I'm not sure how to take care of it. It was purchased from an outdoor botanical garden, so I was hoping to be able to plant it outdoors.

Can anyone tell me what type of orchid it is, and how frequently it needs to be watered, growing temperature, etc? I can't seem to find any info on an Alcra anywhere online.

Thanks in advance!

Alcra. abbreviation for Aliceara

It's an Oncidium alliance inter-generic hybrid
Brassia, Miltonia and Oncidium (Brs. x Milt. x Onc.).

It can be grown outdoors during warmer months, but it is not a terrestrial plant and shouldn't be planted in the ground
