That's good to hear! I'm new to Vandas. I hope they can tolerate some heat ... been awfully hot here, and forecast to get worse

Heat's not gonna be a problem for Vanda coerulea. It can get to be 113 F, and it'll still keep on chugging along like nothing happened. Night time temperatures can stay as warm as the mid-70's F and it'll still be ok.

Cool weather down to 40 F is fine as well. 36 F is where I'd draw the limit.
