A V. Miss Joaquin spike for Ike
Just noticed a couple of days ago this new spike on this terete vanda I was given. I hung it up for the first month or so,then had it up against a fence for another month or so, finally potted it the way you see it close to another month now.
It looks to be spiking. Very odd looking on a terete since the leaves are so different. Anyway thought I'd show some before pics....I'm pretty happy about it 
Who else has this one? I'd love to see your pics.

I have one of these but have never had it do anything 
I read that when they're potted, they need to be higher than the other plants around them. I told this to my husband and he now insists on hanging it higher than any other plant around! 
Looking forward to seeing your blooms! She's so pretty  |

Great growing Swamper!!!
Susanne mine is in FULL sun and potted in good draining soil. I also put some slow release all purpose food over the soil. The babies are very big and happy. And yes they have to be higher than everything else next to them.
