Can you trim the roots of a Vanda orchid?
Vanda orchids are famous for having unruly roots that are hard to contain. You may want to trim your vanda orchid's roots simply because they are getting out of hand. While it's not advisable to trim them simply for appearance, you can cut these roots safely if they are brittle or black.
Can you propagate Vanda?
Unlike some orchid species, which you propagate by splitting apart a root clump, Vanda orchids grow from a single stem. Instead, Vanda propagation only requires making a quick cutting of a tip of the plant that has aerial roots.
How often do you water Vanda orchids?
Water & Humidity
In periods of high temperatures, Vandas should be watered twice a day. When watering a Vanda, first soak the plant until the white or silvery roots turn color. Then wait a few minutes before again saturating the plant. Overall, the plant should be under spray for up to 8 minutes.
How do you propagate a leaf Vanda?
Look closely at the plant and you can see white Vanda orchid roots growing along a stem. Using a sharp, sterile knife, cut several inches from the top of that stem, making the cut just below the roots. Generally, it's easiest to make the cut between sets of leaves.
How much light do Vanda orchids need?
Terete types need full sun, and are best grown in high-light climates. In a greenhouse, give the plants about 25 to 35 percent shade, less in winter if overcast.
