I have a flos-aeris. It's just a cutting from a larger plant. They tend to
grow roots right up the plant, so they can be kept in check size. It was
in spike when I bought it but the *&^% thing blasted. That'll teach me to
listen to my own advice about Vandaceous plants and cold weather.

From what I understand the floes-aris needs to get tall in order to bloom.
From what I understand many of the old Vandas did too, untill the
hybridizers bred them for size and easier blooms.

Thanks alot Diana,

This plant is a monster. I'm growing it in lava rock in a 14 inch clay
pot. If I sit it on the floor the plant is nearly 6 feet tall. The
immature spike is over a foot long so I'm expecting something big.

I was told the plant came from the Singapore Botanical gardens in the
late 60s or early 70s, so it has some history.

Should be exciting.
