Good potting medium for vanda in West Virginia?
I just ordered 2 vandas, and i was just wondering if vanda care is similar to other types of orchids. Currently, i have cattleyas, a cymbidium, oncidiums, dendrobiums, and a few phalaenopsis and all of them are doing well. I water them every 3-4 days and use the recommended dosage of fertilizer (Sunbulb's Better-Gro Orchid Plus) almost every watering. Should i expect pretty much the same methods will work for vandas? I'm thinking about potting them in Better-Gro special orchid mix in a clay pot. I'm a little bit worried about what i should use to pot these since i've read that they need a lot of humidity and a lot of people have trouble growing them. Please note that i keep fans running all of the time in order to increase air cirulation (don't know if that would make a difference). I would like to recieve input from the experts here, because i know that some of you have dealt with these things first hand and know what's best. Thanks for your time.
