Oncidium cardiostigma

Oncidium cardiostigma is an accepted but almost undocumented name, described by Reichenbach in 1854, with no wild records in GBIF and no published range found. Nothing specific is known about its habitat, so the conditions below are generic intermediate culture for an epiphytic Andean or Central American Oncidium and should be adjusted once the plant's origin is known.

No habitat data exists for this name. Almost all Oncidium are epiphytes of humid montane forest in tropical America, and that is assumed here.

Unknown; no records with elevation exist under this name.
