Oncidium Sharry baby!
Hello everyone!
My Oncidium Sharry baby has decided to grow 2 flower spike since I put it outside for the summer. I also noticed that the leaves are spotted with small black dot ! Should I be concerned? What can I do about that! thanks -- Claude www.picturetrail.com/phalguy Remove NOSPAM to reply |

I wouldn't worry about it too much. It is just something that plant does.

The black spots are indeed very typical of Sharry Baby, and some other
thin-leaved oncid types. There are numerous theories about why they do it, and I don't think anyone knows for sure, but I personally lean toward the heat theory -- they "freckle" in high temps. All the ones I've seen without spots have been grown cool. Kenni "PhalGuy" wrote in message news:1123598287.f885c393c5bd1e66ddcbae2e78682db1@t eranews... Hello everyone!

Kenni Around here the ones grown in the top of the gh with good light freckle and the ones grown in low light under a bench (how they bloom I don't know) don't freckle. True to Kenni's prediction there is a temp. difference between over the bench hanging area and under the bench. I had thought it was a light problem. Now I think Kenni has a better cause and effect theory. SuE http://orchids.legolas.org/gallery/albums.php |
