Oncidium Sharry Baby "Red Fantasy" - Навчання та стиль
Hello! I am watching u from India and many many thanks for u.
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful! I can't waitttttttttttttttttttttt It's driving me crayyyyzayyyy. 1 note. I did let all my oncs dry out for weeks cracker dry. It was an accident. They put on tons of new roots and new growth. Way more than the ones I had been babying. Who knew.
SOME can be really tough and relatively drought tolerant....but not all! Thanks for watching!
This is a great video. I was not aware that The Sharry Baby preferred to be slightly root bound. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Having sold perfume in the 80s, I had to smile at your description of this orchid’s fragrance. I can still smell YSL scents in my mind.
It is SO hard trying to describe a scent! But here's to 80's perfume counters!
@@helloplantloversjust stopping back because my Sharry Baby is blooming. It’s autumn in the San Francisco Bay Area, and my plant is exploding with blooms.
Your scent description made me smile all over again. Thanks for your delightful videos!
Thanks for watching!@@lisascenic
So glad i found your video about sharry baby. I also live here in southeast melb and now i know i need to bring my sharry baby inside during winter. :)
Thanks for watching Julie! Mine's still outside...the night time temps are still above 10oC...but the minute the chill descends...in she goes!
My Red Fantasy is currently in bloom and they are such a delight for sure!
Aren't they! Thanks for watching!
The smell makes me think of hot chocolate with cinnamon and nutmeg
It is fabulous!
Happy New Year! Thank you for your informative and entertaining videos. As a newbie orchid grower I've really been enjoying them. It's great to be able to find some information closer to home. I'm a "plasic pot with extra ventilation holes" kind of girl, lol, but I hide them inside terracotta pots for looks. Can I ask where do you buy the mycrorrhizal fungi from?
Thanks for watching! I just googled it to find an Australian supplier and ordered it on line. The product will all be the same it will just be who’s local to you and the volume. The measurement suggestions were a bit confusing for me so it just put a tiny sprinkle in the medium and hope for the best!
Halo from indonesia,i have one and blooming now...smell so nice
Thanks for watching! Aren't they the best! And lucky you with the PERFECT orchid growing climate!
I just bought this plant! I live in Alabama (US) and I live in apartment with a SW window. Would this survive better indoors where it’s ~65-70F w a fan on or outside ? Love this video! Also I have a plastic pot with slits throughout the pot.
Hi there - Oncidiums can take warmth if they are watered correctly - and those temps you mentioned are quite mild. I'm not sure what your outdoor temps would be but mine can certainly take our summer temps outside if it's in the right light and watered correctly. Good luck!
I just purchased a Sherry Baby Red Fantasy. Can I feed them with Worm Tea? I hope mine blooms this year! Thank you for your informative videos!
Thanks for watching! Well I feed mine fish emulsion! I guess with all things maybe just dilute it quite a bit. But it's all natural and very nutritious!
Thank you for all this information would you please give me the name of the fertiliser grains you put in the potting mix? Just to see the capacity and try to find something similar in Europe. Thanking you in advance

Thanks for watching! There you go - a generic all purpose slow release fertilizer. They also make an orchid specific one. Good luck!
@@helloplantlovers Thank you so much !!!
Where did you purchase the fungi?
Hi there - you can get it on line as there are many brands out there and sure to be a good range where ever you are. You might also find it in garden centres & nurseries.
