Tolumnia Flyer Red Velvet Orchid Plant - BS (Miniature) Without flowers

Add dramatic elegance to your collection with the magnificent Tolumnia Flyer Red Velvet! Renowned for its deep, velvety burgundy to maroon blossoms and fan shaped succulent foliage, this equitant type miniature orchid packs intense visual impact into a compact, space saving footprint.

🌸 Flower Specialties 

• Velvety Drama: Displays a deep burgundy to maroon hue with a soft, velvety texture, starkly contrasted by bright, golden yellow central markings on the column and lip.

• The "Dancing Lady" Shape: Features the classic Oncidium style flower structure that naturally mimics a miniature ballroom dancer in a wide, flaring skirt.

• Prolific Spikes & Secondary Blooms: Single thin flower spikes produce long lasting clusters of vibrant blooms. If the spike remains green after the initial flush, do not cut it it can branch out to produce a secondary bloom flush!

• Compact "Equitant" Foliage: Grows in neat, fan shaped succulent leaves that store moisture and take up minimal space on a bright windowsill or display mount.

🌿 Care Guide

• ☀️ Light: Needs high, filtered bright light (near east or west windows). Watch the succulent leaves: a light reddish/purple speckled "blush" tint indicates optimal light levels.

• 💧 Watering: Follow a strict wet to dry cycle. Water thoroughly in the morning and allow the thin, fragile roots to dry out completely within a few hours (typically every 1 to 3 days depending on climate).

• 🌱 Potting & Substrate: Requires maximum root aeration and drainage. Best grown mounted on cork bark slabs or in small net pots filled with coarse orchid bark, charcoal, or volcanic rock. Never use heavy soil or dense, packed moss.

• 🌬️ Humidity & Air Movement: Maintain 50% to 70% relative humidity paired with gentle, continuous air circulation to prevent stagnant moisture and root decay.

• 🌡️ Temperature & Feeding: Thrives in warm day temperatures between 21°C and 30°C (70°F–85°F) with a slight nighttime drop.
