Vanda orchids are some of the most beautiful orchids you can grow. However, they can be a bit tricky to water if not kept in a greenhouse, but in a normal home without added humidity. Since Vandas are usually grown bare root, watering can be a bit hassling. Although it requires a bit more attention, it is not impossible :) Enjoy!

hi Dani my vanda orchid has lots of new root tips and three new leaves growing so i think its doing well. i was away for 5 days and hoped it would be ok but when i got back the leaves were wrinkled and wilting. afters days of daily dunking in water the leaves still look terrible but there still growth. should i be worried?

Not sure if this question has been asked before but Can I reuse the same bucket of water on other vandas? Or do I use a fresh new bucket of water for each vanda? I'm asking this because I don't know if there's gonna be some contamination issues if I use the same bucket of water on all my vandas.

Hi miss orchid girl im ian from the philippines i just wanna ask whats the solution for rotting leaves cause my vanda robert delight blue is rotting leaves when a new crown is rising the lower leaves rot it will start with small black spots until it inhabit all the leaves and can i put it or stick it to the wood with direct sunlight??hope you can help me plss😊God bless😃

Buna Dana. M-ar interesa un update acum ca ti-ai mutat Vanda in hydroten si in ghiveci de lut. Am un puiut de Vanda, e Pachara delight si nu am umezeala deloc in casa si creste chiar f incet. Din ianuarie anul asta pana acum a dat o noua frunza ce are acum 5 cm. Oare ar fi mai bine inorganic media sau dunking method pentru a creste mai repede?! Mersi mult!
