If you have a chance to go to the Northeast Judging Center in Elmsford NY on the third Saturday of the month, David Grove can tell you how he does it. I am in New Hampshire and have had modest success with the 100 vandas in our collection. We have a small greenhouse, yes, but colleagues that grow their vandas on windowsills are giving us stiff competition. If you can't get to Elmsford, check out Dr. Grove's book: Vandas and Ascocendas and Their Combinations with Other Genera (Timber Press). It's a must-read for any vanda grower.
