How to Care for a Vanda Orchid

1. Light
Vanda orchids thrive in bright, diffused light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
The best locations are east- or west-facing windows. During winter, supplement natural light with grow lights for 10-12 hours a day.

2. Temperature
Maintain a temperature range of 20... 25?C (68-77?F) during the day. At night, temperatures can drop to 16?C (60?F).
A noticeable temperature difference between day and night helps trigger blooming.

3. Watering
Vanda’s roots should be soaked in warm, settled water for 20-30 minutes once or twice a week.
In summer, water more frequently, and in winter, reduce the frequency.
Ensure that no water remains in the container to prevent root rot.

4. Humidity
Vanda orchids require high humidity levels between 60-80%. Use a humidifier or mist the aerial roots regularly in dry environments.

5. Feeding
Feed your Vanda every 2-3 weeks during watering using a special orchid fertilizer diluted in water.

6. Ventilation
Fresh air circulation is essential, especially if you are growing your Vanda in a glass container. Avoid cold drafts, as they can damage the plant.

Special Tips for Growing in Glass Containers

Growing Vanda orchids in glass vases or terrariums is a unique and stylish way to display their beauty. Vanda grows without substrate, so its aerial roots must remain free to “breathe.” Monitor for condensation in the container and wipe it away if needed. Add decorative elements such as moss, stones, or bark to enhance the visual appeal.

With the right care, Vanda orchids will reward you with their breathtaking, vibrant blooms multiple times a year, becoming a true tropical gem in your home.
