Hold the Vanda orchid in the glass

How do I water an orchid in a glass?

The particular advantage of cultivation in the glass vase is that the aerial roots do not dry out as quickly despite the sun and heat. Nevertheless, the Vanda Orchid needs regular water, which can be met in various ways. This is how you handle the important aspect of care correctly:

• Soak the Vanda orchid in a bucket of filtered rainwater for 30 minutes twice a week
• Then drain the aerial roots well and hang them back in the glass vase
• Alternatively, fill the vessel with lime-free water until no more air bubbles rise and pour out again
• Just add enough water to the glass so that the heart and leaf axils do not get wet

In addition, pamper the discerning diva with a gentle spray mist on warm summer days.

Does a Vanda need fertilizer in a jar?

A continuous supply of nutrients ensures that you actually have a vanda in the glass

to bloom bring. Since the roots must never be fertilized dry, give the special Orchid fertilizer into the immersion water. In summer, fertilize the plant every 2 weeks. In winter the time interval is extended to 4 weeks.

For what occasion can a Vanda orchid be cut?

Do not cut shoots and leaves until they have yellowed and died. A premature cut impairs the vitality and willingness to flower. The same applies to the aerial roots. Before you reach for the scissors, make sure there is no more life in a root strand.

The only exception for a cut in the middle of the flowering period is the use of a Vanda as a cut flower for the arrangement or the bouquet. In this case, cut off the flower stem when the first buds have opened.
