Vanda orchid does not bloom

If there is a lack of light, the flower will not bloom

A Vanda orchid is extremely hungry for light. If the aristocratic tropical beauty refuses to blossom, the lack of light is the main cause of the dilemma. Motivate the orchid to bloom at these locations:

• In winter on the south window sill to get as much sunshine as possible
• Ideally on the sunny balcony from May to September
• With year-round room culture in summer on the Windowsill with a shade in the blazing midday sun

In addition to a high light output, the Vanda orchid would like to stay at temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius in summer. If the mercury column does not drop below 18 degrees Celsius in winter, the hybrids in particular lay their flower dress almost all year round.

Dry air prevents orchids from blooming

The Vanda orchid feels so uncomfortable under the influence of low humidity that it is less inclined to please us with its flowering. Therefore, spray the unwilling plant daily with soft water. Commercially available humidifiers create a tropical room climate in living rooms or in the winter garden.

When spraying, please make sure that you use water at room temperature. In addition, the orchid should not be in direct sunlight at this time.

In soil, the Vanda orchid refuses to bloom

Whoever has a Vanda orchid in Potting soil plants, will look in vain for a bloom. In the wild, the flower thrives as a epiphyte by clinging to the branches of mighty rainforest giants. You can therefore choose to cultivate the exotic plant in a special one without a substrate Glass pot or in coarse orchid soil made from pine bark.
