Thank you kmarch. That was so easy ... that I feel dizzy!
Oh well... it won't be the first or the last time, lol.
I will research propogation of strap vandas per the above method ... as that is the variety I have.
Would you or someone else mind clarifying something about strap vandas & when their leaves are "v" shaped vs. clamped tightly together.
I read somewhere that if your vandas leaves are tightly clamped together this shows that the plant needs more hydration. Is this true? I have 2 vandas that have been that way ever since they arrived in the mail (eBay) and both have shown great root growth and also leaf growth. These (as well as the others displaying their leaves in a "v") are all in hanging plastic baskets. During the summer I had them outside under a shade tree that got late day sun but dappled during the hot/heat of the day. I sprayed/misted them daily... sometimes 2-3 times daily if it was an exceptionally hot day. Now our days are too cool for them to be outside so they are in a South facing windo and still continuing to show leaf growth. I continue to mist/spray them daily although I use a hand held now instead of my garden hose/sprayer/mister. Still no change and this that I just described has taken place over a period of 5 months or so.
I have even taken the two vandas in question and soaked their roots for a couple of hours and saw no real change in them relaxing their leaves. Is this truley a sign of want for hydration?
