    Default Vanda tricolor v. Suavis

    Thought you might like to see the new addition to the collection. This makes plant number 4. I must say I did have a job getting it into the house.

    The main cane is over 1 meter tall ( 40 inches ) & its in a 250mm ( 10 inch ) pot.

    Wow, Roy. That is HUGE and a great addition. I would say, "send me one of those keikis", but you are at the other side of the globe.

    Soon or later you need to support it, I notice the leaves of your plant relatively shorter than those grow near the Equator.

    I have done some work on supporting it Zain, some large stakes & ties. I notice the shorter leaves in comparison to my other plants of this. I'm thinking growing conditions and maturity, maybe I'm wrong, not sure.

    Oh yes, these plants can get very large over time. I don't think I'll be around when it gets too big to handle tho.
