A very frustrating Vanda Jukkich Gold

[AussieVanda]

I got this Vanda in bloom as a fathers day gift 3 years ago. I never managed to get it to bloom again. Despite my best efforts and regimented watering and fertilising routine it did nothing other than grow. The leaves remained a nice light lime colour and great roots. It got moved to a few different spots but still nothing. For the last year it lived happily in my then new vanda shade house. Other vandas around it bloomed like crazy but not this one, it just grew.

A few months ago I cracked the sads and decided to move it slightly to the right (half a metre) just to re-arrange some of the hanging spots for my more reliable plants. Within in 2 weeks of being moved that almighty distance of half a metre, it spiked.

So here is my Vanda Jukkich Gold in bloom after nearly 3 years of frustration!!
