In summer, proper shade should be provided, and Vanda orchid should be given a high-humidity environment. Frequently spray water around the plant to moisturize it. During the plant's peak growth season, insert your hand into the sphagnum moss and touch the stem to water it thoroughly. In winter, when the temperature is low, water less and the substrate should be kept dry to help the plants survive the winter safely.

1. Like more sunlight

1. It likes sunlight and sunshine

Although Vanda orchid belongs to the category of orchids, the plant itself particularly likes sunlight. When maintaining it at home, the plant must be given sufficient natural light. Only when the weather is hot in summer, 30% of the light will be blocked, and there is no need to block the light in other seasons.

2. Moderate temperature

The most suitable temperature for the growth of Vanda orchid is 20-30℃. When the temperature is low in winter, the potted plant must be moved to a warm place indoors to allow Vanda to grow. Orchids survive the winter safely and are protected from freezing damage. The winter maintenance temperature must not be lower than 10°C.

3. Water appropriately

< p> Vanda orchids grow fastest at 20-30°C. Touch the plant materials for planting Vanda orchids, such as sphagnum moss and bark, with your hands. You will feel that the plant materials are dry and water them thoroughly. Vanda orchids grow slowly at 15-20°C, so watering should be appropriately reduced. When the temperature is below 15°C, water should be cut off and only spray water.

4. The humidity should be high

Vanda orchids are epiphytic orchids, which means that the plant itself needs a high-humidity environment, especially in summer when the temperature is high and the light is strong. Keep the air humidity at 80%-90%. In addition, pay attention to plenty of ventilation to prevent plant root and stem rot.

5. Apply thin fertilizer frequently

Vanda orchids sold on the market are usually grown with sphagnum moss, and sphagnum moss itself has little nutrients. Therefore, during daily maintenance, you must fertilize frequently. At the most suitable growth temperature for Vanda orchids, water liquid fertilizer once every half a month, and the concentration should be light.
