Vanda Bloomers

[alvin2000]

Alvin, the noids are prolific bloomers... blooms around 4x a year. While the
Acda. Prapathom Gold initially when I got only bloomed once last year. But
this year its really giving me a good show since this is the 3rd blooming. As for
the Vanda Mini Palmer x Vanda (Merilli x insignis), they seem to bloom about
every 2-3 months or so.

Wow..you never run out of show then..Great growing..

Update
The 2nd spike from my Ascocenda Prapathom Gold has opened, and boy it was a sight
seing it with 2 spikes in bloom sadly I was too busy to take a photo of both spikes in bloom
that the first spike has finally wilted....

Lovely blooms. And leaves so green. How shaded are they Randy?

[delphiguy]

Thanks BD.

they get lots of sun Angel, they're only shaded but a layer of black net.... but they love this place better than my main grow area which receives much more sun.... but ends up with burned leaves.

A single layer? I've never tried netting on orchids. Perhaps I should try it on strap vandas and some dends.

[delphiguy]

Yes, just a layer... I noticed that without that layer of net the leaves of the Strap Vandas
can easily be scorched... so then I placed a layer of net since 2 layers seems to be too
much for me... and boy did it make a big difference for the straps.... This gives them
lots of light without the risk of burning the leaves.

Next year I'll be replacing that net with a clear polycarbonate, which i hope will let in more
light and block the radiant heat and increase the humidity.
