Vanda Orchids in Myrtle Glen

For me here in Central Florida the Vanda orchids are one of the easiest orchids to grow.  Most of the hybrids flower several times a year.   

Vanda ‘Evening Sun’

 

Four simple things I do to keep mine happy:

  • I keep them in bright shade with morning sun
  • They get a 10 minute daily misting by an automatic mister system
  • I feed them by-weekly with a commercial  liquid orchid fertilizer
  • the lowest temperature is 50 F, this is when I bring them into the garage

 

 

Vanda lamellata var. boxallii

 

This Vanda is a specie native in the Philippines. It flowers in spring, and so far it has never flowered more then once for me.

I mount them to Vanda growing boards, so not to stuff the roots into a basket since I love the long, silvery roots and display them  by letting them hang as long as they want to grow.  

 

 

 

 

Vanda ‘Charles Goodfellow’, a cheerful bright orange, flowers a couple of  times per year

 

 

 

V. Cindy Banks Hilltop,  flowers on and off throughout the summer
