Default cultural information on vanda tricolor var. suavis

Hi, Steve,

I have a V. Gordon Dillon 'Lea' x tricolor v. suavis. The tricolor is
predominant. I grow it exactly like all my other Vandas: warm, very bright
light (with only screen protection), a good soaking daily, and fertilizer at
least weekly but generally twice weekly, at 1 tsp/gal.

It is fragrant, and is a very large plant. I can't answer the pot question;
none of our Vandas are in pots.

Jay Pfahl has it listed two ways; it appears to be moving in the direction
of V. suavis.
