This orchid is particularly amazing as the blooms smell just like chocolate! The plant is mounted on a cedar shake and includes a free hanger!

PLANT CARE: Light: Oncidium Sharry Baby loves the bright sun without access to direct sunlight, so during the hot afternoon sun on the windows of the southern orientation and the hot evening sun on the western windows, the orchid should be placed behind the curtain (for example, on the table near the window) or in the shade of other plants. Needs a minimum night temperature of 50-64°F (10-18°C) and a daytime temperature of 64-71°F (18-22°C).
Humidity: Oncidium Sharry Baby is not demanding a high humidity, and its rate can vary from 40 to 70%. Too dry air has a negative effect on the development of the plant: its growth is slowed down, the tips of the leaves begin to dry out, and new shoots grow like jammed with an accordion. To increase the humidity of the air, you can use a humidifier, water saucers or wet clay.

Watering: Watering this hybrid is directly dependent on the temperature of the content, the higher it is, the more often it needs to be watered. Excess water during irrigation must flow out of the pot, as stagnation of water both inside the pot and in its pan can very quickly lead to rotting of the roots and the lower part of the plant. The damaged root system is not able to suck up water and transport it further into the plant, the leaves and pseudobulbs of orchids start to wither from lack of moisture and the plant slowly dies. Substratum between waterings should be well out. In other words, watering an orchid is necessary only when the substrate (in which it grows) is completely dry. It is not necessary to focus on a certain number of days - this is fundamentally wrong, as too many factors affect the drying rate of the substrate, such as lightness, the overall temperature of the plant, air humidity, etc.

Fertilizer: Throughout the year, this hybrid is fertilized for every third watering in the usual concentration of fertilizer indicated on the package. At the beginning of the new growth period (vegetation), it is desirable to use fertilizer with a higher nitrogen content, and closer to the formation of pseudobulb - with a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content. The plant feeding process is as follows - a necessary quantity of fertilizer is poured into a basin or a bucket with water and a pot of orchid is placed for 20-30 minutes.
