    Default Ren Singaporeans ( Ren Kalsom x Ren Tom Thumb)

    This is one easy Renanthera to grow. It is also quite a small plant, for a renanthera and is very free flowering. This is a first time bloom for me on a foot tall plant. The difference in the colour is due to the angle of the sun - one with frontal lighting from the sun and the other with backlighting.

    You could always try. It is a small plant and being a renanthera is more tolerant of loert light and cooler conditions than other vandas.
