CR7cristiano,

I must admit I was thinking about transfer of disease if using a bucket and the same water.

I currently have majority of my orchids and other plants in a pergola with 70% shade cloth and open sides. There is a auto sprinkler system in place although not a misting system. To water the amount the vanda's require would cause an issue with my other plants, so not an ideal option. Bucket watering not a serious option due to my work.

Looks like I had better off my butt and organise the other location I was planning for orchids. This location was to be set up inclusive of an auto misting and fertiliser system. The location would have similar lighting to my existing pergola.

Go figure and I thought fishing cost $$$ :rofl: running a good 2nd to the orchids at the moment.

Orchids have been relocated and will work on the watering situation to better care for the vandas.

Brian
