What kind of Orchid is this?
1 Attachment(s)
Hi all,
I've only ever owned Phals and I'm having trouble doing picture searches online for this one. Just want to make sure I'm caring for it properly. What kind is it and is it similar to taking care of a Phal? Thank you! |
It's an oncidium. Is it fragrant? Possibly like chocolate? Then likely a Sharry Baby.

Oncidium hybrid for sure, not convinced about Sharry Baby specifically, but that doesn't matter for general care, and that link covers it. If you have done well with Phals it shouldn't be too much of a challenge.
If you could provide a flower close-up and size and indication I might go along with Sharry Baby as a tentative ID (can really never be certain with a hybrid) or make another suggestion. |
Its a sherry baby for sure.

I have 2 of these plants. The way the flowers are growing on the spike, color, and the leaves all say Sherry baby to me. BUT since there is no name tag it is just a NOID Oncidium. |

Thanks Optimist. By looking at the pic in my first post, do you think I should repot yet? If so, what's the best medium? It seems pretty crowded currently, but again, I'm only used to Phals.

Oncidiums must be in the air. I had mine ID and confirmed yesterday and today there is a new spike.
