They are doing good. They are my first vandas. Are yours in vases like silvervase suggests? On the package it said to put in a vase and pour 1/3 of a cup of water in and repeat once that evaporates. I have 4 and three are somewhat in vases (I'll have to take a picture when I get home) and one I have hanging and every morning and when I get home from work I mist the roots. Do you have any pics of yours?

I saw pics of potted up Vandas and I loved how they look in pots. I potted mine up in medium lava rocks with a little bit of spaghnum on the top since it is so dry out here in Colorado. I spray them every other day with my pump sprayer. They were my first vandas too, it was perfect bc if I failed then I lost out on only $5, but to my surprise they did ok

Wow they look great! I notice they seem to dry out pretty quick here in western MA. I wonder if they would do ok potted in clay pellets? They look great potted like that!

They look great! Do you know what the flowers will look like? The place you have them is quite beautiful as well. I wish had a pretty window to hang them on. My little apt's windows have large, deep ledges but metal and old frames

I think they will do good in clay pellets but there is only one way to find out you could try on one and find out? I think it should be fine though.

Thanks! Here's a pic of the first one I got.



The others will either be this color or like a light pink. They only had pink or purple. I think I'll try one in pellets and see how it goes.

I am wishing so bad that one of mine looks like that!

Oh wow, well done! I would have grabbed all 5 and then found the manager and asked if they don't have more :P

Found a spike starting on one of them today!!! The one hanging in the window. So excited!
