First Vanda spike ever
Today when I got home for lunch I discovered what I think is my first Vanda spike ever. I've been cultivating orchids for about three years now and I've never ever managed to rebloom a Vanda. I hope this time I will. At least, I think it's a spike. The fat root with the green tip on the lower part of the picture started end September and first I hoped it would be a spike (but knowing it was a root). This time it's different. I'm almost sure it's a spike.
I still have most of my plants outside (today it's 30º C and the minimum will be about 15ºC). In the next two weeks, highs will be between 23ºC and 18ºC and lows between 15ºC and 5ºC. Can I let her outside or would it be better to take her inside? Thanks for your input.

Woooo! Congrats!
I think I have my first Vanda spike as well! 
What is the name of yours? Might help people advise as to temps. |

Congrats Sonya on your spike as well. Don't forget to post pictures of it's progress and blooms.
I'm not sure mine's got a name. It has never been tagged. It's a NoId, with white blooms (I posted her in this post White NoId Vanda).

Thanks  keeping my fingers crossed there will be no mishaps!
Ah - maybe best to bring yours inside in that case, at least at night if temps will be quite low ? Hopefully others can better advise - I just have the one Vanda (not counting Neos), and it's a cool grower ... |

I've been looking around and I think mine could be a Tayanee white. |
