Advice needed for Vanda tricolor
Hi everyone! I have been lurking on this wonderful forum for some time now, and decided to join the club! I enjoyed the helpful discussion and cultural insights here.
About 3 weeks ago I purchased my first Vanda ever, and it is a tricolor. The plant came mounted on a branch with a few small roots. For two weeks I used the vase culture outdoor. It receives a few hours of direct sun and it seems to like it. However, having the plant outdoor causes the roots to dry very fast, and I do not have the time to spray/ water it everyday. So I decided to put it in a square mesh basket that is about 12"w x 12"l x 12"d with some coarse bark mix and top it with a thin layer of sphag moss.
Now I am wondering if that is the right move to do what I did. Does anyone here in SoCal grow their Vanda outside? If so can you please give me some cultural advice to keep my Vanda tricolor healthy and thriving?
