In the world of exotic flowers, the Vanda orchid undoubtedly takes its place. The Vanda orchid is not the Phalaenopsis orchid you are used to from Kolibri Company. Nevertheless, we will tell you more about this graceful plant and how to recognize it. What makes the Vanda special is the way it is hung, allowing its unique beauty to be fully appreciated.
How to recognize a Vanda orchid
The Vanda orchid, originally from Southeast Asia, can be recognized by its bright colors and surprising shapes. When you take a look at a Vanda orchid nursery, you will be amazed by the flowers ranging from vibrant shades of blue, purple, and pink to white and yellow. What really makes the Vanda striking are its aerial roots. Instead of growing in the ground, these roots attach themselves to trees and rocks, allowing the orchid to float high above the ground in its natural environment. To fully appreciate the beauty of this orchid, you can hang the Vanda orchid. Don’t want a Vanda orchid? Then take a look at our orchids to place them in a beautiful decorative pot in your home.
Hanging a Vanda orchid
Are you going to buy a hanging orchid? Here are some steps to hang this beautiful orchid correctly:
- Choose a suitable holder
Before you hang your Vanda orchid, it is important to have a suitable holder. Choose a hanging basket or a pot with holes at the bottom to ensure good air circulation. Make sure the holder is large enough for the orchid to grow and spread out.
- Secure the orchid
Carefully place the Vanda orchid in the holder and ensure the orchid is stable. The aerial roots should hang freely, so make sure they are not compressed too tightly.
- Hanging
It is best to hang a Vanda orchid in a location with plenty of light, but not in direct sunlight. Hang the orchid using a sturdy hook or hanging system. Ensure the orchid hangs stably and is not exposed to drafts.
- Care
Water the Vanda orchid regularly by submerging it in water and letting it drain well. Depending on the environment, this can be every few days to once a week.
By hanging the Vanda orchid correctly, its natural beauty is fully expressed. The floating aerial roots and vibrant flowers create a visual spectacle that adds atmosphere to any room.
