Vanda hindsii

[peeweelovesbooks]

Hi everyone!!

Does anyone grow this plant? I've not found much information on the web about this one (except for the Baker's culture sheets) Can you share some information re: culture if you have it? I'd be most appreciative! Thanks!!

According to Roy, V.hindsii requires a lot of heat, hope you have it. Its also an Australian Native, it comes from the very north of Australia and its rarely cool up there.

I have one baby which I got from ebay. As soon as I heard it, I moved it to the hottest spot ( close to HID light ). It seems to be doing well.

Other member might be able to give you better advise.

Molly, thanks!!

I live in Miami so we have a lot of heat and light.

Ummmm......do you fertilize? is yours hanging or bareroot? I plan to pot mine.

thanks!

Mine is in a hanging basket with coconut husk. It gets watered every day and fertilized once a week just like other Vandas.

Guess what folks, just bought a flowering size V. hindsii for myself. My conditions are not like Miami but I'm going to give it a go.
