Hallo Reka,

First of all, it's important to know the name of your Vanda. Is there a tag
with a name on it?


Well, it's called Vanda Coerulea. I suppose, that it's the most common.

Secondly, most orchids may need a gradual increase in light so they don't
sunburn. Move it out into the sun gradually, increasing the hours (one,
then two hours) and the time (i.e. first morning sun, then gradually into
noon sun) of sun exposure.


Well, she already stayed exposed to the sun in a window months, but when I
leave her outside on a balcony in direct sun, she gets burned. I'll try
something to shadow her a little bit.


Thanx,

Andreas
