I honestly i'll leave the orchid growing up to you. I can't grow orchids for my life. You do quite a good job!
Excellent video Brad... thanks for your expertise... I am going to try this for sure....
Happy to help, did you pot one up like this a few months back?
No, I had bought one which was sitting in a clay pot and had a hat of moss on the roots. There were small plastic baskets around the roots to keep them airy and the Vanda had been secured by wires to the pot. Quite an operation. Your method supports the plant and hopefully the roots dry out sufficiently.
Thank you Brad! Was looking for information about growing Vandas indoors. I just purchased 2. We'll see how they adapt!
Awesome, what did you buy??!!!
GREAT VIDEO Brad,thank you!
thanks Carolina!
Very good video buddy, as always.
Thank you...as always :D
I bought (mail order) my first 2 Vandas about a month ago. I am trying out "Vase" culture. Basically you put the roots in the vase, soak the roots for about 15 minutes a day then poor the water out. Helps with humidity. They stay in the vase.
I enjoy your videos. I am growing a few vandas indoors in a south window on top of a large humidity tray with supplemental lighting on timers when sun is not shining directly thru the window. I wish you had mentioned in this video if you use supplemental lighting and how often you fertilize your indoor vandas in the winter.
Hi Keith, these guys are going to grow just with natural light in a south window. In the greenhouse they grow on the south wall as well.
Hi Brad!
I just got 3 new Vandas from a friend. They have nearly no roots cause they where all cut short...don't ask me why cause I don't know. Should I plant them into pots or hang them in baskets? Thanks for your great videos!
Great video! Question, Do you spray the outer roots daily to keep them green or is it okay that they are silver for a bit?
Hi Brad, I am from NZ, I am trying to grow my vanda in a vase with spagnom moss at the bottom for humidity, unfortunately I don't have a north window but currently have it in a NE window, do you think this is enough??
wow! amazing video brad.. anyway i have 3 mokara hybrid, they have big and healthy roots, i put them in big driftwoods and i spray them with garden hose 5 to 10 mins a day, but they leafs still wringled... they looks like dehydrated,.can u tell me what will i do for them? thank u
First thing that comes to mind is the "dirftwood" In my area, it could be Pine or Cedar which are toxic to Orchids or just the fact that it may have been in saltwater for years means it will leach salt out for years which would make the orchid unhappy.
Thank u for the advice, now i put them in a wooden basket and i hang in my garden. Now my problem is their leaves, and i don't know what will i do for them :(
Hi brad, can we cut the roots if it's growing everywhere like too much? I can't have a jungle where I live.
Hi Marina, Yes you can cut the roots. Dont cut all of the growing roots at once, do it over time one or two here and one or two there
Hi Brad, Good video on Vandas! I recently purchased a Renanthera Kalsom "Red Dragon" with a beautiful long spike. After about 5 days in our Montana environment it started dropping all of its buds. I am so saddened by this. It is currently in a 6" plastic pot and the medium is bark, at least what I can see. I have it in a south window. Questions are: 1. Should I repot it in clay pot, as in your video? 2. How often should I water it when potted in bark and/or stone medium? 3. Should I mist it daily, since it is dry here (I do have a humidifier going)? I soooo don't want to lose this plant. Your response is, again, so appreciated. Thank you!
Hi Diane, Sorry to hear about the bud blast sounds like just to big of a change in environment to me. Don't worry it will bloom again im sure.
1) repot when it has finished blooming, that way you will know how old the media is and how the roots are doing. My vandas in clay pots are in the house and doing great at the moment. The clay pot adds to the stability.
2) rewatering depends on your environment, rewater just after they are dry, as the middle of the pot will still retain moisture when the surface is dry.
3)up to you, I don't mist mine in the house, if you mist, mist in the morning so the plants are dry by night time.
hope this helps,
Brad
Thank you for your quick reply! I will repot in a clay pot when I see that the spike is drying up. I just set up a tray with rocks and water, so I hope that helps with some additional humidity. Congratulations to you and your wife as well. Diane
The one in the middle - is it a Renanthera type??
yes, you are correct! do you grow any?
I have my little Vanda growing in a clear plastic cup without any kind of media. I'd like to try this, but I'm a little concerned. I don't want to kill it! lol
So, since they're potted, how often you think you're going to be watering?
Your video great as always, Brad. Thanks!
Yup, don't fix what isn't broke! haha I will play it by ear but probably water 2 times a week to start.
