1. Location: Vanda orchids need bright, indirect light. They can tolerate some direct sunlight, but make sure they are not exposed to harsh, scorching sun.
2. Watering: Watering needs vary depending on temperature and humidity. Generally, they need watering every 3–5 days. Make sure the medium dries slightly between waterings.
3. Growing Medium: Use a special orchid mix, such as bark or a vermiculite blend, to ensure proper drainage.
4. Humidity: Vanda orchids prefer high humidity. You can use a humidifier or place the pots on a tray filled with pebbles and water to increase humidity.
5. Fertilization: Use a special orchid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during the growing season. Choose a fertilizer high in nitrogen at the start of the growth phase.
6. Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation around the plant to prevent root rot.
7. Flower Care: Do not remove blooming flowers. Allow them to dry and fall off naturally.
