A Vanda Experiment

The tube is cool white, the watts are 13, the fixture is 23 inches long.

I doubt that's enough light energy for most vandaceous plants. If they were 3"-4" from the bulb, maybe, but personally, I'd recommend about 3- or 4 times that wattage.

I believe you are correct, Ray. I am going to re-pot them. Move them under a T8 two tube fixture, I can move that fixture up and down. It won't be as easy to keep an eye on them since it is on the top shelf of my plant stand. But it will work out better. Thank you for your advice.
