Odcdm. Succubus 'Night Shift'

A Dark Crimson Oncidium Hybrid Built for Drama

A dark intergeneric cross that delivers serious presence, throwing branching sprays packed with intensely deep crimson flowers. The blooms sit so dark on the stem they practically absorb the light around them, giving you a rich, velvety look without any temperamental culture requirements.

Each flower opens with narrow, star-pointed petals in a deep mahogany-burgundy tone surrounding a broad, cherry-red lip. The center holds a bold, bright contrast that gives the bloom the look of a glowing ember resting inside a velvet cloak.

You pick up an Oncidium hybrid like this because it yields maximum visual impact for minimal effort. The branched flower spikes carry dozens of blooms at a time, creating a floating cloud of rich color above clean, compact pseudobulbs that sit neatly on any windowsill. It grows with vigor, multiplies its bulbs quickly, and rewards standard home care with a show that holds on for weeks.

Quick Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light near an east or west window. Target a bright apple-green leaf color.

• Water: Thoroughly soak when the top of the potting medium feels dry, allowing it to drain completely.

• Temperature: Nights 58–65°F, days 70–86°F. Intermediate to warm conditions suit it best.

• Fertilizer: Balanced orchid fertilizer applied every two weeks at half strength during active growth.

• Mature size: Foliage reaches 12 to 15 inches tall; flower spikes arch from 18 to 24 inches.
