What makes a Vanda Grow?

Hi all,

Last year I got a really gret deal on some Vanda plants, I was told that they were ready to begin spiking. To say the least they haven't really done much (the plants alone are pretty), but some buds would sure make me happy.

Any suggestions???

I also have dendrobiums, philanopsis, and onciduims that all seem to do just fine.

I had a couple of vanda that would not bloom. Narrowed down to not enough light. I am not sure of the type of weather you have, but if they are in the house they need a southern exposure. Tara
