A Vanda Hybrid in Glass
Vanda orchids are a great remedy for a chilly winter. These happy purple blossoms are shining through our gray and rainy days. They’re the epitome of tropical, and the blooms last for weeks. Each flower is over 4 inches (10 cm) wide and tall. Last year, I blogged about how to grow a Vanda in a glass vase.
These exotic orchids don’t want to be potted, but fortunately don’t mind having their roots crammed into a glass. That makes it much easier to water them, and to keep the humidity high. A shallow layer of water kept at the bottom of the vase will evaporate and raise the moisture level in the air.
Last year’s flowers lasted over two months. This year’s are still going strong after a month and a half. If you’ve got a warm, sunny spot with room for a vase, you can bloom these gorgeous orchids. too.
