Alcra. Pacific Nova 'Pacific Heights'
 
I've tried looking up cultural info on this plant and get pretty much zilch. I believe it is an intermediate/warm grower, but since it is a generic hybrid of Brassia x Miltonia x Oncidium, I'd sure appreciate some specific cultural information is anyone can help. It was a rescue and I'd like to give it every chance to be well and bloom some day.
Thanks,
Tony

According to OrchidWiz, you have a lovely, mostly yellow flowering plant with some small reddish brown spots. They don't show that particular cultivar. Of the species that make it up, 100% take high light so grow in bright indirect light. 100% of it's species will tolerate all three, cool, int, and warm temps so grow between 58F and 85F at night. I know that's a large scale, but I am quoting from OrchidWiz. 70% humidity when in active growth and 40% to 50% in winter when growth slows. Grow mounted or potted in course media such as tree fern, bark or osmunda. It doesn't say if you should dry out completely between watering, but my own opinion is to water just as it's approaching dryness and maybe less in winter if grown cool.

I hope it does well for you.

Silken, Thank You very much for taking the time to look this specific plant up for me. It is a great help to at least have a starting point! This plant was a rescue from the big box store near home, so it was either I take it home or watch it die in full sun and 90+oF temps of north central FL! Again, thanks for your help. I'll post more pics if/when things start to turn around.
Best,
Tony

Not a problem. I hope it does well for you and will look for pictures of the blooms in the future!

Lets hope so. Mine still has some pretty wrinkled looking pbulbs, but it is putting out a new growth, so I'm happy about that!

I discovered mine is going to bloom! The spike got caught in the leaves so it is quite crooked, but I can't wait to see what it does! I'll take a picture in the morning when the light is better. :D
