Bright Red Vandas

[estación seca]

There are a lot of good threads here on Orchid Board regarding Vandas. Most people starting with Vandas run into trouble because they don't give enough water or don't give enough light.

Vandas need to have their roots moist every day. If grown bare-root they need their roots soaked every day, twice on hot days. In pots people are able to water less often.

With good air circulation most of them can take full sun, with temperatures into the 90s F / 32+C. Good air circulation means a breeze, or a fan blowing on them.

Thanks for your input, estación seca. My sister is the person growing the Vandas and she's having excellent results in housing them in tall, cylindrical glass containers. I, on the other hand, am merely trying to find her the brightest Red available...
