I fucking love your no bullshit approach to this video. Clean cut and dry and to the point.
Please keep making videos with pro growers!!! 😲 I love the interviews
Sure wish I found you guys 3 years ago. I have given up on vandas. I have a few left I am trying to grow, but due to a airboat accident years ago I now have to give up my larger plants. Atleast, I can care for the them the right way before I give them away. Thank you for the right information 😁😁👍👍
I’m so glad that I found you guys. My Vandas are doing great!
love to here that
I am so looking forward to owning MY OWN vanda soon .... I was promised an xmas gift of one. I have no preference, as long as it's a vanda!! Glad I found this channel to HELP me raise my new "baby"!
It would be great if you could address how to grow vanda indoors, and in a Northern Climate. You don't advocate growing in vases, so I'm assuming you don't advocate growing potted either. Nor do you believe in dunking a bare root vanda in a bucket. So, should people in northern climates not bother owning vanda orchids at all?
Damn! You dispelled some MAJOR things I was sure was true! LOL
I had always put that moss (called Pele's hair in Hawaii) to retain moisture on my vanda roots, since I live in the driest & windy-est area (Waikoloa) in Hawaii and do not have a greenhouse, just a home made shade cloth area with irrigation mist. Now I have to think about removing it...
Also had problems growing Vandas indoors, so considered growing them in a vase...WRONG..
I have many different orchids so the ideal conditions of one orchid is root rot to another. Gives me hope seeing you grow other types of orchids with your vandas.
Also Ty for helping me learn about all the BS out there on the Internet...
Love the photos of your healthy, gorgeous vandas...
Great content. Stumbled upon your channel after winning my first Vanda Ben Magic at the raffle table at the St Augustine Orchid Society. I have no prior knowledge about Vanda's.
Bravo for knocking down some of the bad info out there about watering, I was about to get a 5 gal bucket!
Hoping to learn even more by catching up on past episodes!
👏👏👍
Thanks for sharing such valuable information,.
Well explained! Thank you very much for the tips very helpful
Great Info. I bought my first Orchid {Vanda) yesterday. I have heard a lot of stuff just like you said. Thanks for clarifying.
Thanks so much for the information. Started yesterday collection vanda's
Woooooow!
SUBSCRIBED😊
Really amazing teaching how to grow up Vanda 💜 only the cinnamon and honey 😂😂😂
All of you are super heroes.
So happy to have found your channel! Thank you for the great information! New sub - 1/24
I love Vanda orchids.
i'm a huge fan of this channel👍 and so glad to see the channel growing, its the best out there. Will you have a video with Antonio for cattleyas🤞? Don't wait too long to post another video Eric⏳
Yes on videos! Am from South Florida and your advise has been my answers to all the research I tried to do to help my vandas grow. Thanks keep the videos coming!
Thank you for this video
Thank you for watching, happy growing!!!1
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Straight to the point, but the problem is that kind of setup is difficult to some other growers or consumers where the space is limited. What advice or suggestion can you give for those growers that have this problem.
Thank you.
I would put some those moss/ air plants around the vanda cutting from the main plant because the roots has very few roots
I really appreciate your input! do you have a tip for growing vandas in a rather dry envoirnment like central europe? mine are doing great, I try to breed them, but during summer I struggle to maintain a humidity over 50%, so I wanted to get some of the tillandsias until I saw your video. Or would you rather go for spraying water more often? Thanks for a tip!
Hate people who can’t acknowledge that there may be a different way, but he is very knowledgeable. I have a lovely vanda that I had to put in a pot bc I live in Oregon and the vanda was NOT happy when I tried to grow it bare root. So I put it in a large Lechuza hanging pot and it is much happier. New growth, roots etc. She hasn’t bloomed yet but it has been very dark here. SHE IS NOT DEAD. Those Vandas are nuts and so amazingly huge and healthy that is definitely the best way to grow them, but mine if fine, not as gorgeous as his, but at least I get to enjoy them!
yes some of these have been thriving for over 20 years. How old is yours at this point? Glad to see you enjoying some nice vandas - Cheers!
Thanks
Oh - I am from the Caribbean!! No winters!!
Dammit man I’m in new Smyrna beach ✌🏽🤙🏽and I got gifted some gorgeous vandas but I had no clue what to do with them so like you said I RUclips’s it and I did the dumbest thing dunked them and put cinnamon on em lol so happy I found y’all never gunna dunk again… also can they recover from crown rot? Is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide on them Im gunna get somephyzene
You do have a greenhouse to though, something to keep in mind.
Now is fall -
winter in Los Angeles about 55-60 …
Sometime we have Santa Anna strong wind ….
Can I keep Vanda outdoor or in patio ?
Hi, I am from NJ. I have to keep my orchids in the home to keeping from being destroyed from squirrels. I have vandas that have roots but they are turning darker. Are roots supposed to turn darker with age? The one vanda I have had over a year is showing a small root tip growth
helo, im from the Philippines, i love your videos and fell inlove with your vandas. im a beginner please help me, can i directly spray the fertilizer on the leaves?
Helloooooo Co Filipina! Haha I need help with my dying vanda tooooo!!! Please give me some of your knowledge😂
I bought an ascda ctaden dawn dhtaire. I think that it may bloom purple? Would you happen to know for sure?
Central Fla temps?? It was low 40s I brought my vandals in but what do u do when it gets cold up here?
Hello I have a Vandana I see some brown stuff on it that looks like small bug I realize that's fungus what would you advice to use to get ride of this funcus
I ordered a orchid and got a vanda didnt know what to do with the roots looked like regular plant roots and its not looking that healthy a month jnto is there any saving it
Also what is the best kind of vanda food for them?
Thank you I have been following all your advice. But most of my vandas are attached to my coconut trees. What should I do detach and put a basket?
I would let them ride just were they are... if you are looking to expand your vanda collection you can guarantee Thevandaman.com has the healthiest and biggest vandas available in the States, Robert Fuchs is another source for quality as well. Cheers!!
@@orchidlife8224 just placed an order especially with the BOGO deal. Can't wait.
Do older vanda roots get more woody?
I have my first Vanda but I live in the Tropics. it is just sun and rain all the time. How do I care for my Vanda?
I don't understand when to use physan over xeritol or vice versa .
you want to use those to keep fungus and bacteria at bay, you can use them often and especially in times of heavy continuous rain or a lot of over night rain when the plants do not have the dry time they need. Just for you , I will do a video explaining the application of both of these products... stay tuned , ill try to have that up for you next week
My vanda lost its roots,and leaves are starting to dry what am I going to do ?pls help
😊😊😊😊😊
Question: I live in Virginia and bought my Vanda from a grower in Charlottesville. He gave me a beautiful healthy vanda with all its leaves and strong roots. I bought the candy for my mother who love orchids and I wanted the watering to be easier for her. I sadly saw the wrong video which told me to put the vanda in a bucket and let it soak up the water. Now my vanda is a green yellow and it’s roots are now broken.
Is there any way to save my vanda if I give it filtered light and water it with the roots tangling only in the morning not at night? Will it begin to show a green and become healthy and grow new roots ????
I think the best way is spay water with hose - or automatic spinkler .
It depends on your climate, you can give it crown rot easily that way in a cool humid climate. Ok in a hot, dry or well ventilated area
Was that a Vanda Sanderiana you were holding?
Question: I have a water softener system in my house that has salt. Can I use that water for my vanda?
Yes that should be fine
What to do if the basket was already removed? I think not soaking the roots is a waste of water, not environmentally friendly at all. I personally soak and reuse the bucket of water. If the vanda is too big for an ordinary bucket, I will still put a bucket under it to save the water.
How do I save a sick vanda
How different are Mokaras from Vandas?
Question: How much Epsom Salt should I use for Vandas (per gallon), how often do I spray them with it, and what time of day is it effecient?
always best to feed and water first thing in the morning if you can, maybe an hour before sunrise to give some time to soak.... for epsom you want to use 1 tablespoon per gallon once a month for regular maintenance in the fall and winter/early spring.
@@orchidlife8224 great info about the Epsom salt.
I purchased this small bagged vanda from Home Depot’s garden department. I didn’t see until I got home that it had green algae on the roots . I’ve had it for a couple of months now. Is there anything I can get to have this thing start thriving?
just proper water and light .... algae will prob go away if your using city water... check out the episode "whats in your water" maybe some helpful info in there
@@orchidlife8224 thank you 🙏
@@loadedfun4764 you are very welcome :-)
You should keep your website in description
Why my vanda spikes just turned brown and buds blast even i water it daily and fertilize every once in 2 wks very weak amount onlyof

How long does physan last after you mix it up?
24 hours max
I am in Jamaica it blooms once but not again pls help new beingner
I wish to learn how 5o grow vandas pls
Practice makes perfect, watch the videos and start with quality plants :-)
We in Jamaica buy our vanda without a basket. We can't get baskets here . I'm try to get a basket. Thank you
Have you tried a produce basket? We get our strawberries in small plastic baskets, i was thinking it might work. Dont know what you have access to
They don’t need to be in baskets to thrive. I think he is saying that removing the baskets from the vandas end up destroying the roots.
Now it's "After the fact" what do you suggest I do with Vandas that have been moved to wooden Vanda Baskets ? As a beginner I liked the look & now I'm wondering if I may have harmed them.. I did _Not like the look of all the dangly roots... so I soaked the new arrivals in water (until roots were flexible) & "Wound" them around inside the baskets. )I left the plastic baskets to be able to wire down/attach securely. This was 2 years ago. Some have grown through the baskets & look ok. Others are not as fast growing roots, but foliage is good.
let em be, dont disturb the root systems any further, whats done is done. Now we know for the next Vandas we acquire
HELP!!!!! For Vanda growers that cannot grow them outdoors year round. How do we make this work?!? The watering part is the hardest thing especially if you are saying that dunking your vandas is a no no. This seems to be the easiest way to water them indoors. Dunk it in a full bathtub full of water, soak for 10-15 mins and then let it dry before hanging back up. Any help is appreciated! 🙂
I live in Ohio. I put my Vandas and mini Vandas and Neos' in lava rock in clay pots.
They were kinda small when I bought them.
I tied them to short wire stakes ( like Rick L. if you know who that is.) I soak the plant 2x a week in Jakes AB and epsom salts. Plants go outside in May and inside in Oct and pretty much get full sun. Inside they get window light and t5 grow lights on a timer to match the winter dark. The room stays a steady 70F 50% humidity. And I dont change water and feeding. All my orchids are in lava rock and clay pots and I mix the Jacks to 50% per directions,...tap water,...5.8 ph,....1.3 ec. Plants soak up to 24 hrs.
Every plant had to adjust to this and were gradually brought to that level of feed and light. Some died and some didnt really respond at all. But after 2 years,..the 60 orchids that made it are doing better than most of what Im seeing from most of the channels today. Start with a younger plant. Let it get used to what you can offer it. Dont kill it with kindness and fuss over it all the time. Give it a little neglect. Just my opinion,...but an orchid may need to adjust 1-2 growing seasons before it takes off. Overwatering is never good. Hope that helps . Bindge watch Rick L. orchid channel and let me know if you would like any advice or tips from my success.
Maybe water them in your shower?
You don't dunk Vandas in water because you live in Florida, there is a lot of moisture in the air. What about growing Vanda in the north?
Please legend portuguese,Brazil
Can Vandas be propagated
yes, via seed or cloning
“All the grandmas growing their orchids”?
Your orchids are beautiful but that comment was not nice. What’s wrong with grandma’s? I hope to be one soon. I’m a home grower . Most of us are . Older people have a lot of experience and those are the ones I follow.
Play nice!
No need to knock people down. As for onion water I have no idea what that does but honey heals wounds! They used it on an open wound in the hospital! On a grandmother no less and she healed!
Look it up it’s true!
take it easy we are all peaceful happy and playful people ... we all have had or had grandmas... we love our grandmas but there are a lot of old misconceptions and I aim to help people with their collections.... sorry but there are so many "tricks" out there , we dont need tricks or some kinda voodoo soup to grow orchids we need proper culture and science..... remember, grandmas can offer what these plants need most and it aint honey... its love and attention, grandmas are good at that
You addressed how NOT to dip them to water but failed to say the correct way to water them.
American Vandas in plastic pots ..on Kokain😂
I repeated watched the cinammon honey 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My Vanda are not blooming
Physan20 doesn’t kill bugs…..according to the manufacturer.
They didn’t say it kills bugs. It’s a fungicide and it also kills bacteria.
PLEASE MAKE VIDEO YMTO EXPLAIN HOW TO GROW INDOORS IN DRY ARID CONDITIONS.....LIKE CENTRAL PRAIRIES CANADA DRY DESERT AIR ALL YEAR WITH MINUS 35 C WINTERS AND DRY AS A CRISP SUMMERS SO INDOORS IS 20% HUMIDTY.. THIS IS WHY MOSS OR POTTING IN BARK OR SOAKING FOR 6 HOURS EVERY 3 DAYS....YOUR VIDROS ABSOLUTELY DO NOT WORK HERE ONLY HUM8D WARM COUNTRIES....SO PLEASE FIND A FRIEND IN CANADA AND EXPERIMENT WHAT WILL WORK ...EVEN IN ONRARIO CANADA CAN GROW OUTSIDE BAREROOT IN SUMMER OR INSIDE BARE ROOT IN WINTER BUT THEY HAVE 80% HUMIDITY. SO PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT WE CAN DO
WHY ARE YOU YELLING :-)
What is the proper way to water. You stated what not to do, but didn't say the right way to water.
Hose it down early in the morning. Spray soak it thoroughly. Do not water after noon. The plant needs to be dry overnight! If you join the group you get all the support to grow amazing plants.
That is not a moss
It’s Spanish moss . Grows in the trees here in Florida
With all due respect your flowers are gorgeous but I am not impressed with all the nasty chemicals suggested in order to keep the flowers thriving .and beautiful .
Just like the monoculture farmers ,golf courses and all the residential people using loads of weed killer in their yards you too are supporting an industry that is taking our world down a very dismal path of self destruction ..... someday not having clean drinking water ,not to mention the killing of all life forms .
I would think at an average of $70.00 a pop you boys can do much better going more organically and still make a profit ?
You really should consider taking on the challenge being leaders /champions in your industry and make a difference in the world vs adding to the already over load in toxins being spewed out daily .
Your flowers look great but at what cost ?
When your flowers look as good as they do now ...without all the nasty cancer causing chemicals then I will be impressed .
Until then I will buy from the organic grower and feel good about my purchase .
I can respect someone who spends time perfecting their respective craft.
(Not that there aren't many, many more orchid enthusiass.🤔🤷🏻♂️)
.
But this guy's comments circa 6:40 is much, too much - a step too far.
:::$MH:::
You're going to go on, and on, and on about the dynamic of having an 'AIR-PLANT', then insist you must keep it in its "little plastic nursery-basket..."
😂😂😂😂
¡Bro STFU!
I hate when people go on, and on with ABSOLUTES.
When everyone with a brain understands that you do not actually have a 10% chance of your plant surviving the removal of a constrictive, little plastic bucket...🤦🏻♂️
(More like 99%..👀)

He's the only orchid enthusiast on the planet that noticed this little detail..😂
Who knew..😅
He’s got 30years of growing experience and awards up the ass, what do you have besides negativity, I hope that you feel smarter about yourself having made the comments you mad , clearly you are way above all of us here… ty so much for your commentary- have a lovely day… don’t hesitate to share picks of your award winners !! :-)

Ya know what.
I'm not gonna be mean spirited, I love orchids.
PS
I'm not going to go back and forth with ya.
But someone with such a bombastic personality style should understand there will be pushback when stating an argument such as:
"DIAPER OR DEATH..!!!"
.
It's dumb advice.
.
... And yes, i understand these plants have been cultivated for centuries...
But that drives my point even deeper.
If we are heading towards cultivars which need a plastic diaper to succeed; we went wrong somewhere.
It's equivalent to stating that a full grown tree needs an iron-rod for a back bone or yards of tarp for proper shade... IT'S A TREE.
Just like, it's an epiphytic-plant..👀
The goal would not be to end up with a plant that needs an added piece of plastic.

Tony is the worst person in the orchid industry by far. Many reasons he’s banned from every show
