Oncidium Sharry Baby - Chocolate Fragrance, Easy to Grow and Bloom (NOT in-Bud/Bloom When Shipped)

Oncidium Sharry Baby is undoubtedly one of the most popular orchids, and it's easy to understand why: its blooms emit a delectable chocolate fragrance. This orchid is perfect for individuals seeking a chocolate fix without the associated calories. Research has suggested that consuming chocolate triggers a hormonal reaction in the body, making one feel akin to being in love. What better way to experience that amorous sensation than by catching a whiff of this lovely orchid's blooms? Just refrain from consuming it, as it is not meant for ingestion.

Oncidium Sharry Baby will produce a stunning spray of dark maroon flowers, which can maintain their bloom for a month or longer. On a larger plant with multiple mature bulbs, it can readily bloom three times per year. This orchid is exceptionally easy to grow, thriving indoors or outdoors in non-freezing regions. Merely avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and it will flourish.

This orchid is a swift grower and a delight to bring into bloom, making it an excellent choice for both novice and seasoned orchid enthusiasts alike. Mature plants can boast an abundance of flowers, with 10 to 20 buds per flower spike.

To ensure optimal growth, provide Oncidium Sharry Baby with bright, indirect lighting, avoiding direct sunlight. Water the plant twice a week, and consider using New Zealand Sphagnum Moss as the growing medium, although bark works well too. Fertilize it with a balanced fertilizer every two weeks. Maintain a temperature range of 50 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, keeping the plant well-watered and misted during periods of intense heat. Importantly, protect it from freezing temperatures.

When selecting your Oncidium Sharry Baby, carefully examine the provided photographs to gauge the size of the plant. Each image will feature a pen or coin as a size reference. The plants offered are available in various sizes: SD1 (with one bulb), SD2 (with two or more bulbs), NBS (Near Blooming Size, 6 to 12 months from Blooming Size), and BS (Blooming Size, in 3.25-inch square pots, capable of blooming at any time). Regardless of the size, the plants will be potted in either New Zealand Sphagnum Moss or pine bark.

It is essential to note that the plants shipped will not be in bud or bloom, as they are transported in a dormant state.
