Beginner- Questions about Growing Vandas Female
Default Beginner- Questions about Growing Vandas

Hi everyone,
So today I goofed and impulsively bought a Vanda orchid, with no prior experience on how to take care of orchids. That being said, I want to try my best to care for it, even if I am starting off with a more difficult orchid off the bat.

It is a V. Bangkok Blue (V. Diane Ogawa x V. coerulea) and is in a 6" diameter, 6" tall plastic pot with fir bark.
Beginner- Questions about Growing Vandas-img_1492-jpg
I've been trying to figure out how to take care of it, but as a beginner, I don't know what information would best apply to my circumstances. I have a few questions and would appreciate input from anyone with experience.

1. Would it be necessary / more convenient for me to transfer the Vanda to an orchid basket, or can I somehow keep it potted?

2. I live in Southern California. Where in my house can I place my Vanda so it is receiving an adequate amount of sunlight/heat? Is it possible to keep it indoors? How much maintenance would it need for watering it based on the temperature?

3. For humidity, is spraying the Vanda a few times per day sufficient, and does this change if I kept it potted vs hanging it on an orchid basket?

4. Is there anything else important that I should know?

Thanks for any help
