Mini Orchid – Vanda

Mini Orchid – Vanda is a Sanskrit word and is the common name for a monopodial orchid species found throughout tropical Asia. They require lots of light and are typically found in the jungle canopy in the wild.

Vanda blossoms are some of the most stunning of flowers, and come in an enormous range of colors, including a vibrant indigo blue – one of the most rare colors in nature. Vandas have extensive aerial roots, and are often potted without any potting medium (such as bark or moss) in wooden slat boxes or glass containers. New growth emerges at the top of the plant (often referred to as a “fan” due to its shape). Mature vandas may even produce blooms three to four times a year. Vandas love warm, bright growing conditions. Ideal growing conditions should mimic the jungle canopy, where they are found in the wild. Pick the brightest windowsill in your home, away from any cold drafts.
