I have an orchid plant(v. Fuchs Delight x V. Ponpimol). I need directions on how to plant it and what medium?

I purchased this plant at an orchid show. I bought a little box and hanger, but lost directions on how to plant and take care of it. Help!

This is strapleaf Vanda hybrid. If you can find a similar box but bigger, replant it there. If not use driftwood or old tree trunk. Make sure it is big enough to support the plant when it gets bigger. You can tie the plant securely but not too tightly on the trunk. Later when the plant has grown more roots it will attach itself to the bark and you can remove the strings. Use root hormone to encourage root growth. They don't need soil because they are epiphytes.





To remove the plant from the old container, hold the plant at the base - near the roots and simply pull the plant. You can also cut the big roots that are attached to the container but not to close to the base. After replanting put it in a shady but bright area.





You could also top cut the plant if it is big enough (cut the top 1-1/2 ft. of the plant if there are at least 3 airborne roots. Replant the top cut into the trunk and if you are lucky the remaining part will produce keikis or baby orchids) - but this could be difficult for new orchid lovers. Strap leaf vandas are not as fast growing as semi-terete vandas.





Once established grow the Vanda in medium to high light exposure with temperature ranging from intermediate to warm. Fertilize as directed and water everyday. This hybrid originally came from the tropics (most probably from Thailand) where they get ample sunlight the whole year round. The trick in blooming vandas is in the light exposure. Insufficient light will make the plant vegetative with no blooms.





Hybrids were bred to bloom the whole year round though this is not always the case. They peak in summer with less or no blooms during the cold months. Strap leaf vandas also produce the most colorful of flowers in tropical asian orchids.





Good luck and may you find joy in your orchids as I had all these years.
