(Continued from page 1) 
The strap leaved Vandas such as V. 
caerulea, V. tricolor, V. Sanderiana and 
their hybrids are more often injured by 
; growers than any 
other type. For some 
reason, unknown 
even to the otherwise 
good growers, Van- 
das are usually left 
to grow leggy like 
this but whenever 
they get leggy they 
lose most of their vi- 
tality and ability to 
bloom. When a strap 
leaved Vanda be- 
comes leggy it should 
: be cut at the point x 
and We top repotted with the roots in the 
compost. The remaining bottom part should 
also be repotted as usually by that time 
the bottom of the stem and the roots in 
the compost are dead. All dead roots and 
stem should be removed and live roots 
placed in the new compost. The bottom 
will then usually branch and you will 
soon have two good plants instead of one 
weak, leggy individual. 
We make a compost of osmundine about 
70%, fresh sphagnum about 5%, dry oak 
leaves about 20% and dry chips of cow 
monure about 5%. We also water these 
plants with fertilizer solution. 
We repot all strap leaved Vandas 
yearly. 
Strap leaved Vandas want plenty of 
light, good drainage, plenty of air and 
are often killed by water standing in the 
axils of their leaves. V. caerulea seems to 
be particularly sensitive in this respect. 
Vanda flowers are produced in nearly 
all colors including white and blue, are 
generally long lasting and are usually 
produced on long, strong, stems. They are 
admirably adapted to corsages, table dec- 
orations and baskets. Most of them ship 
well.
