It was interesting because I'd always thought that you could only grow vandas in hanging pots. |
Very interesting indeed! If the Vandas were as awesome as you say, they must each have had many aerial roots, too big and many for their pots. Did the roots hang over the sides of each pot, or dangle down through the drainage holes under the pots? I grow my Vandas in cork and sphagnum moss filled baskets attached to wire supports, allowing the roots to hang down.
