I have passed my last exam this week and I bought a Vanda today as a treat for myself :P Unfortunately it‘s a noID. But it is beautiful!
Here in my nearby nursery, you can get a matured Vanda in a plastic pot for $10 or sometimes $8 but phalaenopsis for $18.
In the US you can find Vandas at Kroger for VERY inexpensive once the blooms fade, but only once a year. I have 4 now that I paid $7 with dying flowers. They came in huge acrylic vases.
Chays Love thanks! I've been wondering where to find them in socal
Thanks for your explanation
I only see phals at Krogers. Both my vanda and cattleya I bought at Lowes
@@juliejones5734 Yes I bought a baby Vanda, but it was not in a bare rooted setting. I also saw two of her roots, that look mushy and dark brown…. How can I save her ?
I love your opinion your so smart with orchids and with your help I’m getting smarter🙂
Yes, this video was very helpful. I just went outside to the patio and moved my Vandas from being right next to the shade cloth where the more shade loving orchids are to where the sun really hits the shade cloth (tan colored, lets in more indirect light) on the South and West facing sides. This video helped m realize they may be happier there. Thank you!
In southern Texas...I have found that even the 'hobby' vandas are MUCH easier than a phal. I finally worked out how to keep a phal alive and thriving and was nervous about getting a vanda orchid. It is VERY high humidity here, even in the house. They're growing so well and being able to see the entire plant helps you to get ahead of any potential issues. I have them on hooks hanging over my window curtain in small baskets with no substrate.
Omg. Love my vandas❤️
I agree with your pros and cons, for my home conditions...I have two rather large Vandas with unruly roots going every which way. They take up a lot of my grow space, and as you said, high light too! I've resigned myself to only purchasing the compact or mini's going forward and have quite a few Neo. falcata type hybrid vandas, now. Two of my more compact and fragrant vandas are Rhyn. ColmMarie and Perreiraara Bangkok sunset. My favorite fragrant mini is Neostylis Lou Sneary!
Another great video!!!
Really enjoying this series!
Vandas are by far my favorite orchids. I was terrified of them at first, but gave in and got a beautiful NOID from the grocery store in a vase. Super low maintenance, blooms twice a year reliably, and it grows still on my office windowsill 2 years later. People always ask if it’s fake, since the flowers are so perfect. By far the most adaptable and low maintenance of all the orchids I’ve owned. I’ve only managed to kill one seedling that was a freebie from another order. Only one out of 20 kill ratio is far better than my experience with other orchid genera. And the no need to repot is just another bonus. All in all, Vanda alliance is my favorite, home or office. Anyone scared of them shouldn’t be, you might discover that they are the most rewarding plant you can own :)
What part of the world are you located in? I'm near Seattle and wondering if I would have the same luck as you.
Lisa Soehren I’m in Austin, Texas. It’s so far south that even in dead of winter we never get less than 10 hours of light a day, so that probably is most of why I’m so lucky. I have a hard time keeping phals shaded so they don’t burn, lol
do you water daily?
grow proteas I mist daily only, but water deeply overnight once a week. If it’s been very hot, I might mist again in the afternoon
@@andreagaydou4959 I'm in Houston and same! I killed so many phals trying to figure out how to keep them alive in this humidity. I finally got it worked out and got a Vanda and was terrified....for no reason. I now have two and they are the easiest plants I have now. Dendrobiums do great in this climate as well!
Your Vanda's are beautiful! I have a yellow spotted one like your purple one. I live in S FL and they live on my back porch. She dropped her flowers but there is new growth of a leave starting!
Very helpful. Thanks😊
💕😘very beautiful orchid 👍
Very informative
I have a vanda with small clusters of pink & white. They like lots of food. But it smells very strong. It must smell just like heaven. Mmmmmmm!
Είναι όλες κουκλες!!! Είσαι πολύ τυχερή!!!! ❤️
I have a SSW floor to ceiling window that turns my living room in a perfect greenhouse. I'm growing tropical plants no problem. The temperature rarely goes below 21*C. Ambient humidity is usually around 50-60% and I have a humidifier for when humidity drops. I have a fan to ensure good air circulation. I am growing air plants with no issues.
Somehow it took me 3+ years to get a Vanda 😂 cause I was terrified of them. I have one now in a glass vase on the coffee table right in the middle.
It is definitely a conversation piece. I have four trees in this room (one is a hibiscus that blooms a lot). I have an entire wall of vining variegated plants. I have other orchids. I have a very diverse collection of shapes, colors, and textures. I have color changing foliage. The first thing everyone notices is the Vanda, and I find that very interesting
pros or cons I love them, easy in the summer grown outdoors but hard in the winter in the home !
I just bought my first Vanda! It was 50%off in the sale section of the garden center cos the flowers are almost done and its dehydrated. It was 10 euros whooooopp!
Can you do a vid for Cymbidiums and Dendrobiums, please? These vids are wonderfully helpful... especially for a beginner like me, lol. 😅
Just bought mu first vanda here in norway.. the indigo kind, never ever seen it in stores here!! Cost me freaking 140 euros... but oh my god it was so worth it, my breath got taken away whe i saw it
Thank you for the elaborate explanations for better understanding of Vandas. And especially why they do not bloom; they need bright light and water (dunk the roots),
I mix up some miracle grow in a large watering pitcher. I just slowly pour the water over the roots to drip dry. You don’t HAVE to water them daily. But daily plain water is better. Fertilizer once a week or two. In general, I think most common orchids need more light & more water than people think. I’ve been getting my phals to bloom all year. (Finally!)
Could you make an update video about your hoya plants?
Yes please keep making Vanda care videos. I just purchased two from my local Home Depot and I want to make sure I take good care for the. The only worry I have is the light factor. I can provide lots of artificial light, but natural light is not abundant unless right next to the window.
I'd love a video of Vanilla! I have vainilla but y think it could do better
I have some Vanda seedlings and I so don’t know what I’m doing I have them potted right now they seem to be doing well. They are about four five inches and arrived at my house in New Mexico very hot. It is so hot and dry here but I’m doing very well with my little plants so far. Oh and yes New Mexico is in the United States lol
Hi.
can very tall Vanda orchid plants be cut and then propograted? tks
What is the variety of vanda with the Orangish red, yellow, and pink little flowers you showed throughout the video. It was beautiful.
I noticed in one video of vanda orchids that you had something that looked like chenille around the roots. Is that to help hold in moisture?
Try the queen of all vandas, the Vanda Sanderiana or Waling Waling - the Great Mother of most hybid Vandas. She costs around $ 40-65 here online.
They are native to the Philippines and even here it's quite expensive. -_-
Miss Orchid, may i asking where did you purchase nice green plastic planter hooks for your orchids?
I on the fence wanting to grow vanada orchids. I have south facing windows with sheer curtains. My concern is the overhang of the roof. I have had a cattleya orchid bloom so why not a vanada.
My question is what's going to happen if I dont water my vanda orchids for two weeks. Love my
Vanda orchids, Help.
I bought an unlabeled huge orchid at a big box store. It has w long 30” divided sprays of w 4” flowers. I assumed this was a Phal. Within a week I noticed start of crown rot, so I followed your video on this subject to repot. But now I’m wondering if this orchid could be a Vanda. How do I tell the difference?
Hi Danni, I need your help as I have no experience with vanda orchids and I recently took one home from my workplace cos no one took care of it. It had a lot of blooms but they all dried up and dropped. It was in a black plastic pot (only roots in pot) and when I took it out, all the roots had taken to the shape of the pot, and in the middle of the root system was bark chips. The roots are all white and I don't know if they are still alive. I placed it into a glass jar after I soaked it without removing majority of the bark chips because most of it were stuck to the roots. On the second day, there was snow mold growing and I used hydrogen peroxide but the mold grew back. The roots are white throughout even after being soaked in water but the leaves are plentiful and look healthy. May I have your opinion on what to do? I don't know if it can be saved, or should I just throw it away... Appreciate your time and expertise to respond. Thank you.
My beautiful Vanda leaves are showing yellow spots. What do I need to change?
Hi. I have a vanda with a flower stalk that is only 1 inch after 2 months; any clues how I can make it grow? It's under LED lights in temp 55 at night to 70 during day. Maybe I should get it warmer?
I have a couple of Vandas - one is in a basket with lava rock. Has anyone had any experience with this?
About how hard water is . My water Tds level is at about 440 ppm. Hasn’t affected my vandas,Phals, dens, onc, paphs, or even my miltoniopsis ( surprisingly ) then again idk exactly wat minerals/chemicals are in the water
I have veltius vandas and jvb vandas but they are cuttings when delivered. I'm a newbie about orchids. What will i do first in order that they will survive? Pls help me Ms. Orchid Girl...hope you may read my comment thank you!
What about insect problems? What temp is considered too cool ?
Hi miss orchid, I am from USA. Do you sale these orchid seeds or flasks online?
Can u send me the link of repotting vanda in wooden basket
my red dragon vanda was $55, but that includes shipping it.
My vanda came with glass vase. I keep her in glass vase, but I don't stuck whole plant there, only roots. I got mine so cheaply, that I was sure it was mistake, only 20e for large flowering vanda in large glass vase. I think flower shop didn't know what it was :D
CyaneInk Art hi there, I need your help as I have no experience with vanda orchids and I recently took one home from my workplace cos no one took care of it.

I'm not sure did you accidentally replied to me, but I'm no expert in vandas. But I try to help.
If you want to get rid of mold, you have to get every piece of bark chips out. They may be really stuck in roots, but I often get them out by gently rotating it. Mold is really hard to get rid of. I have tried everything with my mini phal that had mold on roots, I used really soft toothbrush to remove mold and then sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide 3%. My vanda roots takes time when they absorb water and turn green, I soak it 1-3 hours every other day. And mist roots every morning. I have noticed that my vanda is really thisrty and roots turn back to silvery in no time. Maybe plant is so dehydrated, that it needs longer soak? Hope you get mold solved out, it is really nasty thing to deal with. But orchids are really tought plants!
How can I tell if my vanda is needing water??
What would you do for watering when you go on vacation?
That would be my question. That's why I haven't purchased one.
Actually Vanda orchids can stand a period without being watered (for sure if it does not las two long); but for example 2 weeks without being watered is ok. Only thing is that if you have flowers they witll wither and if you have growing bud it might die then. But otherwise the vanda is used to not being watered quite a long time even in its natural environment in south-east Asia.
janet fried I grow mine in a glass vase. My family members or a friend has to come and soak them every 4 days
What? I've seen Vandas multiple times in garden centers where I live and NEVER for less than 70 euros, even the bare rooted ones 😂 I should probably look them up online
Here in India, you can get a Vanda with a black plastic pot for just $11.
In karachi pakistan, this year vanda orchid were selling for 6000 Rs that is around 40 dollars.
😊👏
TRAGIC, the state my orchids arrived, so bad that some of the color just peeled off and others the leaves are just floppy. Devatated, was not expecting that, just thought I had to deal with dehydration. 3 so far have had to be thrown away. 😢
Hi..I am new to orchid planting.Recently bought 3 vanda.can u help me with few queries:
1)Can I keep some coal in pot.
2) it’s very hot and humid in noida/Delhi (India).I live in a flat /apartment,with balcony to place them.is it the right place to keep them or should keep them indoor?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Hi! 1. No need for coal, but if you really want to, it won't harm the orchid (if it doesn't contain fire boosting chemicals) 2. That sounds like a lovely climate for Vandas! Hot and humid is what they like, just shelter it from direct noon sun, as it may burn the leaves ☺️
@@MissOrchidGirl thank you so much
Orchids are very very expensive in my country A blooming vanda for about rs.1500 and
I would buy it directly if it was 40-5o euro, I saw one last week, vanda coerulea for 95 euro in a nursery.
Hi Danny 🤪. 💁🏼♀️ Is it normal for these orchids to be hanging like this 🎣?? 👩🌾 no !! But this guys been misbehaving and he’s getting the treatment... 🙎♀️ Woww.
🙈👻.
Here in INDIA vandas are not that expensive, you can easily buy here vanda at the price of phals...
35 dollars in Holland ;-)
Ynse Schaap 10 dollars is the price of vanda here,and if you go for special one you have to pay maximum 15 dollars ,that's it,but you go for very rare ones like vanda luzonica,than you have to pay 12 dollars for a seedling,but other than that,vanda paachara,mimi palmer, denosiana, Bangkok sunset and all other hybrids 10 to 15 dollar is maximum....
You are a lot closer to the source ;-)
Ynse Schaap nope ,the place where I am living right now has not a single Orchid nursery,I order online ,It takes 4 days for me to receive my Orchids,some times even 6..
wow, please send me a Mimi Palmer, she is very expensive here in the USA, $45 to $50 if you can find it!
Lovely vandas!!! I live in south florida, and we prune the roots, it looks like some of your plants could benefit. Leave three mayor root stems, the healthiest ones!, and go ahead and cut off the rest. All that dead root just needs to go. It doesn’t benefit the plant.
Strange... My vandas are placed on north side and they bloom 4 times a year.. I live in india.
Lucky you ;-)
Mamita de buurman in India you have stronger sunlight, because it’s closer to the equator.
High five cum Same pinch! i do am from Assam ,India. Here i get 2-4 spikes every year
RRaulR * yes but then why do my catleya doesnt bloom :(
Gardening with- Oishanu, thats great.. I am from Tripura. :)
Each rynchostylis seedlings costs just 3$ matured rynchostylis costs 10$ in inida😍 i mean all vandas costs the same all from bankok sunset to pachara all costs between 10 to 15 euros if u are regular customer they will give the vandas with buds and keikis like crying child will get milk lol😂🤣
Its funny because bare rooted vandas are the "common" orchids where im from. Potted Phals are the "unusual" one. LOL. Im from the philippines btw. So we have the right climate to grow tons of vanda in our backyards
“If you hated it give it a thumbs down”🤣🤣
Omg 40 euros? I went to a orchid nursery today in texas and they wanted 148 US dollars which is 123.00 euros!!!
Pro: won't die from over watering!
Without vase in México they cost 70 dollars.
I wish I had a boyfriend to buy me a Vanda 😭
Lucas Guillemette why do you need a boyfriend?
@@rochellebaldecir8375 to buy her a vanda duh
I got to stop watching these orchid shows ;-)
Ynse Schaap I just can’t stop watching her videos. I got here for red spiders and I have watch everything from there lol
Every time I watch, I somehow end up with orchids its the strangest thing ;-)
@11:19 what a good boyfriend you have 😁
