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.
