Too much sunlight!
With the right amount of misting and watering, vandas should be in orchid-heaven there!!!
I only have 1 anthurium and it does much better in a very shaded area...do you grow yours in the sun?

Do you have any pictures?

Anthuriums!!!! Oooo! Feel free to post about those here:
http://www.orchidboard.com/community...-you-like.html

These I imagine are better off with shade, but the others I suppose should enjoy their sunny situation. Then again, I have no first hand experience.

well, I am almost the opposite of that. Many orchids and a few Anthuriums, Amchomones, Dracontias, Alocasias, and even the Giant Amorphophallus titanum . I haven't got it to bloom yet though it weighs around 40 lbs in tuber form. Does anyone know the name of the large black flowered Anthurium from Ecuador?

As far as I know the black anthurium has no scientific binomial name yet. I haven't researched this one in a while though. Very cool that you reminded me of it.
Here is a link to that:Dragon Agro Products - Aroids, Carnivorous Plants, Orchids & Supplies
Also, I have been looking to find a small growing Amorpho for indoor culture. Do you know if there are any?
I was thinking along the lines of Amorpho odoratus, or A. yuloensis.
