The care secret that transformed my Vanda

I'd had Vanda for about eight months with acceptable but unremarkable results. Then I started really paying attention to feeding with a half-strength orchid fertiliser weekly in summer and the difference over the next two months was dramatic.

pseudobulbs that store water and nutrients became much more pronounced. The plant in a bright bathroom with natural humidity now looks like a completely different specimen. rest period in summer with focus on leaf and root growth confirmed that I'd finally unlocked what this plant can do. failure to rebloom without a temperature drop trigger has been less of a problem since I got the overall conditions right. If your Vanda is underwhelming, look at feeding with a half-strength orchid fertiliser weekly in summer first.
