Hallo Kenneth,
have no idea where your plants came from, but I'm sure it wasn't grown
in full sun before, so it will need to adapt.
I suppose, taht it came from the Netherlands, where all plants come from
;-))
- do you have a name for it ? Except for it being a "Vanda"
Vanda Coerulea (I suppose the most common one)
- has it flowered before ? and if so, when ?
yes, one year ago in the summer (when I bought it)
- how large is the plant ?
it is some 50 cm in height now. Some leaves are burnt :-( but she grows
lots of thick roots.
- have you had it for long ?
well about one year.
Apart from the general rules: lots of heat, lots of humidity and lots
of light there is nothing much left...
You seem to know a lot about orchids and Vandae. As I see, that You are
from Belgium and I'm in Germany, the light conditions are the same.
So do You use artificial light? What kind of artificial light? Does a
vanda need lots of light all over the year in order to bloom?
Do You advise to use any chemicals?
Greetings,
Andreas
