- Опубликовано: 4 авг 2024
- The Onc. Sharry Baby is a wonderful orchid with wonderfly fragrant blooms. Some folks smell chocolate, others smell vanilla, some even smell cookie batter. In short, she’s a wonderful easy to grow orchid. There are many types of Sharry Baby orchids out there. They do have some differences in fragrance, size, and bloom density to keep in mind.
In today’s video I’m going to show you the differences between a few of the common ones in my collection. I’ve found that some are more fragrant and floriferous than others. Let me know down in the comments below which Sharry Baby is your favorite.

Excellent review! Thank you so much !
My favorite and didnt know there were so many varieties. Got to start looking!
Congrats. Nicole for the stunning blooms on your different unique sharry babies. This video really inspires me to yearn for a sharry baby at least. Shall make a try.
Thank you Jose! Sharry Baby is wonderful if you decide to add one to your collection you won't regret it. In my opinion it's a must have both for the ease of growth in a wide range of conditions, and that wonderful fragrance. Happy growing and let me know if you get one!
That’s a nice collection. Very informative, well done!
Thanks so much! ❣️ Appreciate you watching!!
Thank you. Great video! I was looking for this exact information!
I'm glad it was helpful ❤️
Thank you for this video amiga, well needed I know which ones to run away from for space issues hahaha yours are so beautiful!!! 💖💖😍🌿
Thanks so much for watching! Despite some of them hogging space, that sweet fragrance fills an entire room with fragrance, that one is worthy of making an exception 😻
Thank you for this video! There are soo many Sharry babys & varieties/hybrids of it and i was getting confused which ones to get. :)
Thanks so much for watching ❤️
Loved your video ... so informative. I'd like to know more about repotting and removing the spent bulbs.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it! I'm going to repot them all this spring, I'll make videos! I do have some older repot videos for the heaven scent sweet baby from last October. Appreciate you watching!
I am really liking your content.
Thank you 🤗❤️
Hi Nicole beautiful blooms on them great video 👍😘
Thanks for watching Stephen ❤️
@@NicoleDeanna your very welcome Nicole you have a great channel and beautiful orchids 👍
Hi Nicole I have the Sherry baby heaven sent sweet baby and she's in spike for the first time under my care and she has a total of three spikes. She's a big Girl! : ) Thank you for sharing your sherry babies. Have a good day stay safe and happy growing : ) Reah
Thanks for watching Rhea! These are all rewarding, 3 spikes is amazing ❤️🍫
Very helpful video, Nicole! I was just gifted a Sharry Baby that is still quite small, so now I know it will need its own zip code soon! Thank you for sharing your expertise! 😇⚘ Amy. Btw, I just repotted mine in moss after watching this. I mentioned you in the repotting video, I hope that's okay with you. Thanks again, Nicole.
I'm glad this was helpful and really appreciate you watching ❤️ Sharry babies are wonderful, I find them very enjoyable to grow. Thanks so much for the mention! 🤗 I look forward to watching it!
omg I'm totally obsessed. lol I had 1 orchid when I first watched your videos last year, now I have over 15 hahaha I'm obsessed with sharry baby and twinkles. THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHH for the lesson because I'm sitting here every day like when u gon flower yo! haha By the way you sound just like my cousin who grew up in new york which is on the other coast from me and she's blackarican.
❤️❤️ I'm domincan. Thanks for watching :)) I'm glad you enjoyed the videos!
Great breakdown of the Sharry's! And of course, now I have more to put on the Keep a Lookout for List!!! Thank you for putting this together. And yes, once Sharry Baby gets settled in, it does grow like a weed. Now if mine will just bloom!!! LOL 🌺😀
It will and won't stop once it gets started. You'll really like the red fantasy 💗 So much chocolate in your future🍫
Excited for the package! Tomorrow (Monday) cannot get here and the pro day be over fast enough! Thank you again for your generosity ❤️🌸
@@TrishsOrchidLife ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Nicole,
Great video. I ordered a Sharry Baby Raspberry Chocolate from a nursery, and when I unboxed it, It was /is so large! She had three spikes on her so she was quite beautiful and had a wonderful chocolate sent.
It was totally root bound in a little pot with some moss. I repotted her into Bark and coco husks . We will see how she grows
Thanks for watching! So glad you got a good one. 3 spikes sounds like you're getting a lot of chocolate fragrance ❤️ mine is still in bloom. They are so long lasting 🍫
Which nursery? Thanks
I have Onc. sharryBaby ‘Red Fantasy’. It’s in spike right now. Smells wonderful, but it sure is a (happy) grower. I divided it and I noticed the plant is a Hugh root producer. I also have Oncidium Tsukuba Margueale. Much smaller, but still a heavy root producer. She has 4 spikes right now, but no flowers yet. To me it smells like cotton candy. 🍭Thanks for a great video.🤗👏🦋
Thanks so much for watching! I agree with these being huge root producers. From seedling to adult orchid, these really take over!! I'm so glad you liked the video 💗🤗
Thx for such an informative video! I've been debating about which to get for awhile now, but am dismayed that there aren't any sold locally here. Would love to try any of them, especially Rasp Choco or Sweet Fragrance! Do you typically separate new bulbs yearly? I've also heard Tsiku Marguerite is a nice alternative which smells similarly?
Tsiku Marguerite does smell similarly. In don't separate bulbs yearly but do when it gets very very big. Thanks for watching :))
They're all beautiful, I am probably going to have to get Red Fantasy, Sweet Fragrance, Heaven Scent "Rainbow", Heaven Scent "Redolence". But I love the fragrances and they can grow in my greenhouse.
Thanks for watching Sandie!
What is the difference between rainbow and redolence? I have “rainbow” but I’ve never seen it locally in spike only “redolence”
@@coreycox302 I took a quick look at rainbow since I don't have that one and it looks like it has the same parents as the other heaven scent orchids, but perhaps the color is a bit different. I don't have that one unfortunately. Wish I could compare that one as well!
Nice info. I never paid attention to the parents actually…. Wondered about it but never bothered to actually research them. 😅 by far redolence is my favorite due to the size… but my Aka recently bloomed and boy they are pretty!
They really are nice! What surprised me the most is the Sotanum in them. The fragrance is very related to the beloved twinkles ☺️
@@NicoleDeanna yeah… I have been looking for sotoanum…. That’s another one I was hoping Ecuagenera had last weekend…
Been waiting to find a video like this that breaks down the different types and characteristics of each. Very informative! I also grow orchids in Brooklyn, NY. Right now I have about 20. You mentioned you're going to give onc. sharry baby 'red fantasy' away, I would take it or if you were intrested I would trade you one of mine?
I'm glad you liked it! I actually shipped it off to someone the day after I made this video. With that being said, I'm happy to keep in touch. Im keeping the others and when it comes time to divide them, I'm glad to give you a piece!
@@NicoleDeanna thank you that’s very generous! We can definitely keep in touch, on Instagram or here directly. I look forward to more orchid videos!
What's your favorite medium for these? I think I've been unddrwatering mine (once a week) after a bout with root rot last year, it's growing new roots super slowly and not growing new growths.
They do very well in moss for me. They also adapt well to leca / semi hydro. I don't think you can go wrong with either of these. The worst thing I've ever put them in is bark without any other amendment. These like to stay moist, but not sopping wet. The root growth is a good sign and hopefully should push out a new bulb soon.
Dear Nicole: can you recommend a good place to pick up some of these sherry babies ? thank you
Apologies, I never saw this comment! You can try Hauserman or Carmela orchids, sometimes it's not in season but they might be able to tell you when they'll have these types in stock. Thanks for watching!
I had 3. They died this year. I live in Mexico. One was Heaven sent. Had one yellow.
I'm sorry to hear they died! I think when they die usually they got overwatered too much. If you try again, try to water them throughly and water again when they are pretty much almost dry. Smaller pots help with this too.
How often this orchid bloom in each stalk?
@@TheUsa58 usually once. Depending on the variety, they will bloom on one side or both sides of the bulb, so you'll get one or two spikes.
I want the raspberry chocolate
It's a good one!
🍃🌺🌿💙
❤️
Where are good suppliers online?
Carmela's orchids, Hausermann, svo, Akatsuka Orchids are a few!
@@NicoleDeanna thank you !
You're missing the Sharry Baby 'Tricolor' and 'Ruby Doll', have to round out the collection 😉. Heaven Scent 'Redolence' is my favorite of the SB types, I think it has the best fragrance and blooms. Now I bought a plant as Oncidium fuscatum and it turned out to be a Heaven Scent, which wouldn't bother me except I already have it and I don't need two (and thus I ordered a fuscatum from an importer). My AKA Baby hardly has any fragrance, a very disappointing purchase that one.
Thank you Michael! I need to find them, and do some digging on those! I learned a lot when I researched the heaven scent and others. I came to the conclusion that the more hybrids are involved, the less fragrant they are, but the larger and waxier the blooms look. I can't wait for redolence to bloom for me, it's the one my cat devoured like it was cat grass 😂
I'm being responsible and downsizing, it sorry of feels nice to get rid of some of the floofy big types. Ended up taking your advice. I want fragrance, and smaller size 😁 let's see how I replace what I just got gave away lol
