CULTURE OF TERETE VANDAS. These plants require full sunlight to flower well. 
They are grown as hedges in Florida, the Gulf states, and the tropics. In the north, hang 
near glass or outdoors in summer sun. Keep wet during growing season and spray with 
water daily. The hybrids (Joaquim and Ruby) flower several times a year and the species 
(Teres) has a definite time of bloom. Vanda flowers last a long time, keeping fresh for 
several weeks. Some keep flowering for about 3 months.
