The leaves of cumbria reach up to half a meter in length. From each bulba grow 2-3 narrow elongated leaves, quite dense and wiry to the touch.The flowers of cumbria are often quite large and, as already mentioned, quite diverse in appearance. They may have more rounded petals, and narrower, but most of their overall shape resembles the shape of a starfish. In diameter, they reach about 10 cm, and the smallest-50 mm, germinate on peduncles "in groups". These flowers are quite rarely monophonic, which is a specific feature of Cumbria flowering: often the petals are colored in two colors at once and are noticeable by a characteristic interspersing of white spots or stripes, a bright yellow core. With proper care, flowering can occur several times a year. Nevertheless, the plant is characterized by a period of hibernation: the flower is placed in a cool, dark place for several weeks. At this time, flowering stops and gives the hybrid a rest.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
During the growing season, water daily or every other day. Be careful, though, because drainage is an absolute priority. The potting media must be perfectly free draining. The plants can also be grown on slabs or in baskets. Because oncidiums have large, fleshy pseudobulbs and masses of roots, they are prone to rot.1
Pruning
According to orchid experts, you should definitely not remove the roots. There's a good chance you'll harm the plant or introduce a dangerous virus. Trim an orchid root or stem only if it's dry and you're certain it's dead, but work carefully to avoid cutting too deep and harming the plant.
Fertilizer
During the growing season, feed with a weak orchid fertilizer bimonthly or scatter slow-release pellets in the growing media at the beginning of the season. Although there are many species, in general, the larger the plant, the more heavily it will feed.
Sunlight
These plants prefer shade but with sufficient indirect light.
Soil
The soil that we should use is the usual substrate that I recommend for orchids.
Temperature
Keep within the range of 50-53 Fahrenheit (10-12 Celsius) at night in winter, up to 68-75 Fahrenheit (20-24 Celsius) during the day in summer.
Container
Plant pot 2/3 of its height in a container with water for 20-30 minutes.
