Anyone growing vandas in intermediate temperatures?
Although I'm aware that Vanda coerulea likes cool winter temperatures, I'm interested in finding out whether any of you vanda growers have other species that have proven adaptable to cooler winter temperatures than what's typically advised for members of this genus. I've read that both V. merrillii and V. luzonica have been found in mountainous areas of the Philippines. So I'm going to experiment this winter and try to acclimate my plants of these two species to handling night temperatures in the low to mid 50s. If anyone else had attempted similar experiments on your vandas (again, not coerulea or the innumerable hybrids that have been derived from it), I would very much like to learn about your efforts--both success and failures. Thanks!
