(Minimum) temperature for Vanda tricolor suavis
I did some research to learn the minimum temperature for Vanda tricolor var. suavis.
I found a lot of conflicting information. From cool to intermediate but most times intermediate to warm was advised.
What is the minimum temperature you found out they can take?
Currently our nights are 10C (50F) or a few ° more. Bringing her in every evening after sunset. During the day she’s outdoors, even at 17C (62,5F)
At these temperatures bud development was fast, which tells me she liked this temperature range.
But the question remains. How low can she take?

I grow it outside, so it can tolerate temperatures down to 2-3 deg C, but it would like a little warmer than that. (I grow it outside, but it could do better if warmer) You could go a little lower than 10, but it is doing so well, probably better not to. The days will be no problem at all. Native to Java , elevation 700-1600 m, so relatively high elevation.

You are correct, she does well. Never change a winning team, isn't it? Especially not now she shows her beautiful flowers.
Thank you for sharing your experience with them.

So she's blooming now, and the ID was correct? That's good news!  Those buds really did develop quickly, you shared the photos not that long ago!

Yes the ID was correct! I just looked it up. On May 13 I noticed the buds for the first time.
I lost a few buds, I'm 100% sure because of the large amount of guttation / happy sap. That were the last buds to develop.
