Hello from Central Florida
 

Hey there everyone. Thought I'd introduce myself. I have a very small collection of orchids, mostly because I have murdered way too many. I am finally learning though, and have kept my latest phal in bloom since October - Yeah!

I love, love, love vandas, but can't seem to get mine to flower. They have really healthy root and leaf growth and were in bloom when I bought them, so I know they can do it.

I'm looking to create a shade cloth area in my yard in order to optimize the sun/shade situation. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has done this as a DIY type project with success in this climate. I'd love to just buy a GH, but hubby won't go for that.

Anyway, that's me. Thanks for having me on the boards!
Jen

Glad you have joined us at the OB :)
You are going to find there are many members from Florida and many vanda growers, too!
There is a forum that just opened up on Outdoor Gardening and there are many here with growing areas just like yours.
Explore the OB and enjoy :D
If you have any questions, please ask

Welcome, Jen
 

I imagine you all ready know, but just remember that vandas are heavy feeders. That might be the difference.
:goodluck:
