The Gomesa Jiaho Queen 'Jia Ho' is a true royalty of the Oncidium world, boasting an impressive pedigree with a First Class Certificate (FCC) from the American Orchid Society. This stunning hybrid is beloved for its incredible floriferous nature, producing cascading sprays of dozens of small, intricately patterned flowers.

The blooms feature a striking combination of buttery yellows and rich chocolate-bronze markings, anchored by a prominent, bright yellow lip. Because of its vigorous growth habit, a mature specimen in full bloom creates a spectacular "waterfall" effect of dancing flowers that is simply unmatched.

Why You Will Love It:

  • Award-Winning Excellence: Carrying an FCC/AOS and a Gold Medal from TOGA, this specific clone represents the absolute pinnacle of breeding for form, color, and flower count.

  • Incredible Flower Volume: A single spike can carry a massive amount of blooms, and established plants often produce multiple spikes simultaneously for a truly high-impact display.

  • Compact Vigor: Despite its grand floral display, the plant remains relatively compact and easy to manage, making it perfect for windowsill growers or those with limited space.

  • Long-Lasting Beauty: The waxy substance of the flowers allows the blooms to remain fresh and vibrant for several weeks, extending your enjoyment of the flowering season.

Quick Care Guide:

  • Light: Bright, filtered light. It thrives in an east or shaded south-facing window. Aim for bright indirect light to keep the foliage healthy and encourage heavy spiking.

  • Water: Water just as the potting medium begins to feel dry to the touch. Unlike Cattleyas, Gomesas prefer to stay slightly moist and should not be allowed to remain bone-dry for long periods.

  • Temperature: Intermediate temperatures are best, ranging from 60°F to 80°F. It is quite adaptable but appreciates consistent air movement.

  • Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50-70%). If your home is dry, a humidity tray or occasional misting will help the plant thrive.

  • Fertilizer: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer at half-strength every two weeks during the active growing season, flushing with clear water once a month to prevent salt buildup.
