| You might try wetting the roots three or four times a day indstead of constant contact with the moss. Vandas are what I do best. I have brought many seedlings back from the brink after a torturous drying and shipping procedure carried out by an E-bay seller. Try the bag-n-sphag trick for the really needy ones. I wet my others often during the warmer months here in Fl. With the garden hose. Water directly from the well. Two, three even four times a day in the mid summer. But let them dry between wetting. And do not wet the leaves late in the day. They really want to be dry before it cools down for the night. Lots of light. Slowly introduce them to brightest light. They will burn if too much is given too fast. It can take two or more weeks to introduce them to high sun light conditions. Don't be fooled either. Sunburn can take a week or more to visibly show on the plant. Be patient.

| My son sent me an email today to tell me "to get ready for Mother's Day." He is sending a blue Vance orchid, and I've never had one before, so I'll need lots of help telling me how to care for it. I have a south facing window, although during the hot months of the summer the sun doesn't come in except in the early morning. It gets full sun most of the year. We live in Northern Virginia in a retirement home. My neighbor has a balcony out from her apartment. She could put it there for me if it really needs full sun. Any help will be appreciated!

| Hi there My vanda seems to be very happy with the place I put her in (she's indoors but with a lot of light and humidity, it's quite warm as well). The problem I have is that I don't know how often I have to mist it. I tried to do it every day, but I think it's too much water. Now I do it once a week and the plant seems to be perfectly ok, besides, I think it was starting to rot when I misted it that often. What do you think? thxx!!! ^^ |
