Bryan: Where are you located? In warm, humid places (like here in South
Florida), vandas generally aren't "potted" at all. We grow them either
bareroot in a basket (wood is prettier initially but rots quickly; plastic
lasts a lot longer) or with no basket at all, just a modified S-hook type of
hanger.

If the plants are already in baskets, I wouldn't remove them, but if not, I
prefer the no-basket hanger [plants take up less room, are easier to move,
and don't grow into one another as much].

Hello all:

I have a couple, of Vanda's arriving in the mail this week and wondering
the best way of potting these orchids. I was planning on using vanda
baskets and pot using a coarse bark/and charcoal. ANy other suggestion or
tips. Should I wire the Vanda's to the basket??
