Caring For Your Cambria Orchid
Lighting
Bright, indirect light is ideal for Cambria orchids, but they can tolerate more light than Phalaenopsis. Place near an east or south-facing window for optimal growth. While direct sunlight can cause sunburn, Cambrias can handle up to 2-3 hours of gentle morning sun, which is more than most Phalaenopsis can tolerate.
Watering
Water Cambria orchids more frequently than Phalaenopsis, typically every 4-7 days depending on the environment. In summer, it may be as often as every 3-4 days, while in winter, it can be less frequent (up to 7-10 days). Use lukewarm water and ensure the potting medium is moist but not waterlogged. As with Phalaenopsis, avoid getting water on the crown to prevent rot.
Humidity
Maintain a humid environment for Cambrias, ideally between 40% and 70% relative humidity. While they prefer high humidity like Phalaenopsis, Cambrias can tolerate slightly lower levels. Use a tray with pebbles and water to create a humid microclimate without sitting the pot in water.
Temperature
Cambrias prefer cooler temperatures than Phalaenopsis. Daytime temperatures should be between 18°C and 24°C. A more significant drop in temperature at night is beneficial for Cambrias; aim for around 13°C on cooler nights. This temperature fluctuation (about 6-8°C difference) can help induce blooming more readily than in Phalaenopsis.
Fertilisation
Use a balanced fertiliser (such as 20-20-20) for Cambrias, applied more frequently than for Phalaenopsis during the growing season. Fertilise every 1-2 weeks with a diluted solution. Reduce frequency to monthly during winter or when the plant is not actively growing.
Repotting
Repot Cambria orchids every 1-2 years or when the potting medium breaks down, similar to Phalaenopsis. Use a well-draining orchid potting mix, trim any dead roots, and choose a pot slightly larger than the root system. Cambrias may need repotting slightly more frequently than Phalaenopsis due to their faster growth rate.
About Cambria Orchids
Cambria is a commercial name for intergeneric hybrid orchids that that typically involve crosses between Odontoglossum, Cochlioda, Miltonia, Oncidium, and Brassia genera. Cambria orchids do not grow in the wild; they are specifically bred hybrids. All Cambria orchids are part of the larger Oncidium alliance or Oncidiinae group. The Cambria group includes various intergeneric hybrids, encompassing orchid species such as Beallara, Burrageara, Colmanara, Miltonidium, Odontonidium, Odontoglossum, Vuylstekeara, Brassia, and others. The first Cambria hybrid, named Cambria Vuylstekeara 'Plush', was created around 1900 by crossing Odontoglossum with other orchid genera like Cochlioda, Miltonia, Oncidium, and Brassia.
