Onc. Sharry Baby 'Sweet Fragrance' (The Chocolate Orchid)

Oncidium · SKU p35

Mature size plant with multiple peudobulbs in 4 inch pot. Known as the chocolate orchid because of it's chocolate scent. Light needs can vary from bright to nearly full direct sun depending on the species. Most will thrive with one to several hours of sun a day. Generally, thicker leaved plants, can stand more light. In a greenhouse, 20 to 60 percent shade is required. Temperatures for this group are generally considered intermediate to warm: 55 to 60 F at night, and 80 to 85 F during the day. Temperatures up to 95 to 100 F are tolerated if humidity and air movement are increased as the temperatures rise, a good general rule in any case. Water requirements vary with the type of plant. Generally, plants with large fleshy roots or leaves need less-frequent watering than thin-leaved or thin-rooted plants. Watering should be thorough, and the medium should dry at least halfway through the pot before watering again. This may be every two to 10 days depending on weather, pot size and material, type of orchid and type of potting medium.
