VANDA ORCHIDS

Vanda is the Hindustani (Urdu) name of the flower. It has become one of the worlds favourite orchids in the second half of the 20th century. The foliage, handsomely symmetrical and sculptural, provides an ideal setting for the compact, upright spike, which is densely set with richly colored, 2-inch flowers, usually pink with spots. It is has elegant five petalled flowers, several to a stem. In addition, the show from one spike can last for eight weeks or more, and vigorous plants, if adequately fertilized, can be expected to bloom twice yearly.

Vanda can last several weeks. They like cool air and regular misting, and are sensitive to ethylene gas so keep them away from fruit, vegetables and dying flowers. Snip off old flower heads.
