| Going on vacation for a week Hi, What is the best way to handle vandas when gone for a week? Right now they are hanging in the trees in the back yard. I can put them closer to the sprinkling system and they'll get watered twice. Can I put a plastic bag aroung their roots? Would that help or hurt? NancyG |

| Two waterings in a week will do just fine. I would worry more about enclosing the plant in plastic, it is too easy to encourage rot. You can soak the plant for 4-5 hours before you leave and again when you return. I am working out of town just now and my vandas are getting watered only once a week. The heavy dew in the mornings in Florida right now is soaking the roots every day without further watering.
