Oncidium Sharry Baby (Big)

A floriferous hybrid of Onc. Jamie Sutton × Onc. Honolulu, two warm-growing Oncidium alliance orchids. It produces long, arching sprays densely packed with small flowers, with broad, strap-like leaves and a vigorous, upright habit.

• Light: Bright indirect light with 40–60% shade cloth; avoid harsh midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
• Temperature: 60–85°F (15–29°C); a warm grower that appreciates a slight night drop to initiate blooming. Minimum 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 50–70%; good air circulation helps prevent fungal issues and supports healthy pseudobulb development.
• Watering: Water thoroughly and allow the mix to approach dryness between waterings; never let roots sit in standing water or dry out completely.

Additional Notes

Best cultivated in a bark-based or sphagnum mix in a well-draining pot; repot every 2–3 years or when the mix breaks down. Shipped bare root and well-established at approximately 30 cm; plant promptly upon arrival and water generously to rehydrate the roots.
