Caring for Vanda Orchid

Vanda orchids are known for their demanding nature due to their natural habitat. Therefore, they require more attention compared to other plants.

1. The root system requires special care. If you buy a Vanda orchid in a glass vase, you will need to carefully pour water and drain the excess after the bubbles stop rising from the roots. Hanging Vanda orchids require soaking the rhizome in water for 15-25 minutes. The frequency of watering depends on the season. In summer, water daily in the mornings; in winter and autumn, water 2-3 times a week. The water temperature for watering should be 3-4°C higher than room temperature.
2. The humidity in the room with Dutch Vanda orchids should be within 70-90%. Therefore, it is better to choose separate rooms for cultivation.
3. Vanda orchids should receive moderate sunlight for at least 12 hours a day. Direct sunlight should be avoided. If you place the orchid in a vase near a window, choose the western side. If placed on the southern side, provide shading with blinds. In winter months, the lack of warmth can be compensated with artificial lighting.
4. Fertilizers should be applied during the flowering period, once a month from May to October.
5. Avoid placing the plant in drafty areas of your home. However, ventilation or gentle air circulation from a fan is acceptable.
6. During careful watering and spraying, make sure that the root system and flowers do not rot.

Vanda sanderiana, Vanda tessellata, and other varieties of this flower thrive best in conditions of high humidity, without direct sunlight. They require moderate watering and the absence of drafts. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure that moisture does not accumulate in the flowers, on the leaves, or in the rhizome.
