I generally bring my blooming plants into the house. They seem to last longer in the A/C for me then out in the heat.

Yes it is true that cooler temperatures are most conducive to longer lasting flowers, but that also is the case if you have lots of air movement outside as it keeps the plant itself cool. I have found that if you don't have high light when you bring a vanda inside the blooms fade rather quickly as well. That is my observation at least.

Fortunately, when indoors, my orchids hang under a skylight that gets full afternoon sun and maintain their color.

I want to thank you for taking the time to share your culture and experiences with your vandas. Terrific info and good to know I'm on the right track.

So beautiful!!! terrific, congratulations. I was worried about blue vandas in hot climates (I mean because the coerulea blood) but as Bud told me, is a vanda and the coerulea blood just means that is temperate tolerant. So I suppose your weather is more or less like mine (low 55F - high 105F here in Yucatan) with heavy rains and high humidity.

Congrats again!!!
