Vanda Cindy Banks 'Bill's Choice'

[Picotee]

What a beauty! Cindy Banks is my alltime favorite vanda. Great job growing your vandas!

Mine is in spike for the first time in 6 months, so I'm happy about that

It may be difficult to remove the vanda from the basket without damaging it. I have been considering the same thing with a vasco that I have. Another thing you could do is to put sphagnum moss and chunks of charcoal around the roots. I find this useful for keeping the roots moist longer and you can tell if it needs watering if the moss is dry.
Vandas can be grown in clay pots but materials should be put in loosely so that it dries quickly. Chunks of lava rock would help.

So my Cindy Banks has had FOUR spikes already this year and has been blooming almost continuously since Jan/Feb. Had no idea it would be that prolific.

That's awesome! How do you care for yours?

I give it a lot of light, and we get a ton of humidity down here this time of year so that probably helps.
