Taiwan International Orchid Show - Watering Vandas

[Bolero]

So you thought you knew how to water Vandas?

Well I have a new method........just get a box full of Vanda's in flower and throw them into the local pond, let them sit there a few minutes and then pick them back out again one by one..........just copy the following photographic demonstration and then repeat:

Seeing this, I conclude I over think orchid care.

I don't have a pond either.....might be time to install one.......I wonder if I can water my Paphs that way? lol

Id be scared of contamination, bacteria/fungi infestation....etc....Id still water them in the sink or in the bathroom shower....those guys had no access to a hose that's why they dunked them in a pond....notice they dumped the flowering Vandas in a box and didn't care for the ones at the bottom being crushed.

These vandas were displayed in the outdoor trees in the area of Thailand. They seemed not to be crashed.

I don't think so.

Notice how thin their roots are - this is a sign of very high humidity the rest of the time. Vandas in N. A. have roots 4x as thick, just so that they can absorb what little moisture we have in the air.
