My first time to ever bloom a vandaceous orchid grown under lights. I'm so excited !

This is a bigger accomplishment then blooming my dozens of Vandas I grew outdoors in the Philippines.

Thanks, Naoki.
Now I have an excuse to buy more vanda types.
I only have 5 in my current collection and I managed to kill one!

That's how I started my Vanda/Ascda collection. After one year, I have 30 of them.

OOOOOOHHHH! That is so beautiful. Now maybe there's hope that I can get my Asco. Su-Fun Beauty to rebloom someday. What are the growing conditions that worked for you?

Thanks Karen! I had it hanging in a basket about 6 inches below a bank of 4 T8s along with my other chids in baskets and my one mounted chid ( summer project-Leptotes unicolor)

I take then to the sink to spray/mist once a day. I've got several pots of phals and a huge Milt. Charles Fitch sitting beneath them (these pots are sitting on gravel in humidity trays --actually old cafeteria trays our church was throwing out

). I think the Ascos like the extra humidity from these other chids.
Average humidity is about 65%-- about as good as it gets with forced air heat! We keep the thermostat at 68 during the day and 62 at night.

I think the Asco. likes the extra-humidity from below and the extra heat from above.

I have an Asco Su-Fun Beauty too. No signs of a spike anytime soon.

Good luck with yours!
