Vanda Orchids are a highly prized orchid valued for its large, long-lasting and fragrant flowers that come in an array of rich and vibrant colours. Flowers typically grow to be between 1-4 inches in diameter, so it doesn't take a lot for them to make a huge impressive in your vase at home. The flower spikes typically carry 8 blooms per stem so whilst not a cheap flower, provide excellent value for money. They are super long lasting too and typically live for up to 2 weeks once cut.
Vanda Orchids are native to tropical climates in Thailand, India, the Philippines and New Guinea as well as other parts of Southeast Asia. Known as “air plants,” vandas do not require soil to grow. In nature, they grow best on trees with their roots wrapped around a tree trunk and branches. The roots are sponge-like and absorb water very quickly so benefit from the moisture in the atmosphere.
Just like Phalaenopsis Orchids, the vanda orchid makes a beautiful, long lasting houseplant as average flowering period for vandas is between 6 to 8 weeks. As a tropical plant, vanda orchids survive best in humid, warm environments. Misting the flowers regularly will help increase the humidity. Water at least once a week too, more often in the warmer, summer months.
