- Today we take a look at my Vanda collection almost entirely basketed (currently completely) and how the system works.
▼▼▼More info below!▼▼▼
Ever since I arrived in my new location I always had to customize my Vanda setup to remain more moist. After microfiber • Using microfiber with ... I finally managed to turn my Vandas on the right path!
But there were still a few things that bugged me and I wanted to see if they could be fixed. And they were! I started to place them in solid floor baskets • Making an elegant Vand... and the result was the same as with microfiber, but with less hassle!
Currently I water every few days and it only takes me about 10 minutes to water all my 22 Vandas :D pretty good huh?

how beautiful! I just yesterday purchased my first Vanda. Thank you for all you do. I just LOVE you and your videos. I love the way you clip right along, not dragging out the subject matter. I love the fact that you never say "UH, UM, Y'KNOW, etc) I love that your video is always centered on your subject with just your hand to direct attention, accent information. I love that you don't waste time with a bunch of extraneous minutiae. I JUST LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. I've watched all the 'orchid aficionados' and while they have some good info, they are just too drawn out with useless filler words. You are the BEST of all!
You have the answer to everything related to orchids and so specific. It's amazing whenever I search specific questions, you usually have a video made especially with answers to what I was looking for and include details/science behind it all. I love and appreciate all the explanations, thank you!
What a lovely setup. I am also using that coconut fiber for my Max ten and Catasetum types. Looking forward to seeing how it works.
Longer strands of coconut (coir) fiber is much better than the finely cut fiber. Fine fiber holds excess water and tends to pack causing roots to drown.
These baskets look really appealing. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the colour will block the moisture reliably and there will be no build-ups of any kind or algae in the future. :)
I am VERY interested in this method! So far the microfiber is working for me but you know, functional AND aesthetically pleasing = win! ;)
What beautiful vanda so well grown 😊 .
Great info
I love them in the basket too, but they take up more space in baskets ,so I can't put all of mine in baskets! nice set up!
you filmed this video on my birthday!!! ((smile))
great video danny!! not only does it work amazingly for you... but it is super pretty!!
Beautiful orchids! Talk about your masdevalias, please! Thanks for sharing.
maybe i can do this with my phals too!! they're mounted and they would just look prettier in these baskets
How do you fertilize in this new set-up where you are simply dunking the Vanda? Thanks for all of your wonderful videos. Have learned so much from you!
Deborah Hall you spray the roots or put fertilizer in the water and let them soak for like 5-10 min.
Very interesting video! Thank you Danny!
But once the roots get out of the basket and they keep growing, these won't be any longer affacted by the coconotu fibers, right? Will you then just shower them?
Either put them in, or leave alone, as most of them will still be within coconut fiber cloud, retaining water there, which would be sufficient. Occasional aerial roots do happen in the upper part, too - not critical at all.
Nice job vary beautiful. you need air in the water. A big air-stonein in there will help
Great thanks
As your Vandas roots were long, I assume you trimmed the roots before putting them in the baskets. If so, how much did you cut off?
Hi, I didn't trim them, I fitted them all in the basket as best as possible :)
Hi Danni. My Vanda is about to finish blooming but the node on the spike below the blooms is swollen and looks like it wants to create a second bloom? To my knowledge vandas can’t do that. I’d greatly appreciate your thoughts!
I was given a Vanda last week. It is in orchid mix in a plastic pot. The roots are dehydrated. I am misting the roots twice a day, I am watering every three days. How often should I water?
Nice upload, repotted my one same as urs😀. could u plz help me with the grammatophyllum scriptum orchid potting medium and growing tips
What do you do with Vanda's with very long roots

I currently live in Miami, FL
I don’t have time to water everyday
Would your basket set up work for me here in my climate??
I would love to know this as well
@@ambermidyette3400 Check out the Orchid Whisperer's channel. She grows her vandas in water culture.
Which was not to success. You don't keep orchid roots in water permanently. Instead, your bet is arrangement, where you have lowest level containing water, with roots contained somehow above, but never into.
Do you use the same bucket of water for all your vandas? Are you afraid of cross-contamination if one is developing a yellow leaf?
Hi, when sharing water cross contamination is guaranteed. It's important to know the orchids you decide to share water with and accept the risk. A yellow leaf however is, in 90% of cases, natural regeneration and not a disease :)
What about your Neofinetia (Vanda) Falcata, did you also convert them into baskets or still in semi-hydroponic setup?
love it
Hi....just needed some advise. My first vanda. It had a new bud, which succumbed to wilting. I cut it off since it was dying. Now the leaves from where the bud was are turning yellow too. It's progressing upwards.
It does have one bigger and about 2 new shoots coming.
So question is....is it safe to cut off the plant from where the yellowing is happening? Will the bottom leaves manage to keep the shoots alive?
Apologies for being so detailed. And thank you.
Details do matter. Wherever you see tissue has definitely lost its ability to live and thrive, it is fine and recommended even to be removed: cut off, or similar.
❤️❤️
Hi Danny,Is it okay is I grow a Vanda in water culture in a glass vase? Will it go bad?😣😣
Most likely, if roots are permanently in water. What you can do, is to put something like some stones at the bottom, so that roots get this support, yet water level is kept below the roots. Evaporating water will make just right wet climate for the roots. You might need to get stones out occasionally and wash from algae. Also, it should be observed that stones are not the overly cold element to make touching root uncomfortable. Some porous material could be suitable substitute in this case. Clay pellets could do.
How often do you change the water in the bucket?
Until it stinks, you shouldn't worry, really, unless you have ample of fresh rain water, and go luxury for your plants.
How you spek indonesia..
What is the medium you used ?
Hi, visit the video linked in the description for all the details!
Danny, are you going to be a madre?
Hey Danni! So I bought some orchids recently, and as I was there, there was a really interesting orchid that I want to know the name of. It was misidentified, and the person doesn't really know what the plant is. She said it came from a collection and did not come with a label. The orchid itself has no leaves, but the interesting part is that the stems look like dendrobium, but before each node, the stem swells and looks like a reverse pear. Do you know what that is?
Whenever I try to identify an orchid I do a Google image search. Even if you don't find what you're looking for you always see more orchids to drool over.
James Thomas its sound like den nobile ....or some species..
Very true :), but I did do this initially, and it came back with the result as Nepenthes, which is definitely not what it is.
It is not a Nobile type, that I am sure of, but It sure is definitely a species as that nursery specialises in species, primary hybrids and Hoyas.
😘🤩❤️👍
can you please add subtitles?
Hi, go to options, captions or cc and turn on subtitles in English. They are generated by youtube but they got better lately :)
Stop talking do. It
Bla bla bla
What is your medium inside the basket tnx
