Vanda needs bright shaded light, warmth, high humidity and good air circulation....your blue hybrid must have a coerulea in its parentage so it can withstand low temperatures. Just don't expose it to frost. If the atmosphere becomes dry put it indoors and make sure to hang it by the bright window but spray it with water in the mornings. Gradually expose it to the bright shaded sun or else the leaves can burn.
