Oncidium Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' 4in

Oncidium orchids, or "dancing ladies" create some of the largest and most delicate looking displays. Although these orchids are far from delicate in nature, they create eye-catching tall sprays of 1/2 inch flowers. This is a cultivar of the well-known Onc. Sharry Baby, the famously chocolate-scented orchid. An excellent choice for orchid hobbyists looking to add something special to their collection.

Plant may vary from pictured. Unless stated, orchid will not be in bloom. 

ONCIDIUM CARE:

Potting mix: Fine bark or fine bark and long fiber sphagnum mix. Repot in Spring once root bound (1-2 years).

Light: Bright indirect - medium light. North or East facing preferred. Protect leaves from direct sun exposure.

Water: Water frequently in hot months when media is near dry. Do not allow to stay dry for long periods (pseudobulbs will shrivel, leaves will crisp and "accordion").

Temp: Intermediate-warm (55F min night, 90F max day).

Humidity: 30-60%, tolerant of low humidity.

Fertilizing: Heavy feeding Spring-Summer. 1/4 strength urea-free fertilizer, every watering as new roots and leaves emerge. Flush the pot once monthly to remove mineral build up. Decrease to monthly in Winter.
