VANDAS 
No orchid grower can afford to overlook this fine group of 
orchids. They are fast becoming one of the leading types of spray 
orchids. The flowers are of good size, generally up to 6” in diameter 
and the flat-type flower lends itself to all types of uses —— corsages, 
cut flowers for arrangements, or display on the plant. 
The strap-leaf type plants are quite decorative themselves. 
The plants should be given larger pots than one usually grows 
Cattleyas in and hung or placed where they can receive abundant 
light. We flower many of these types as many as six times a year. 
The plants in 3-inch pots will require about two years to flower 
and the ones in 4-inch pots about one year. 
In general, our Vanda plants 
are larger than those offered in the 
same size pot from the Hawaiian 
island. When you receive our Van- 
das, overpot them! It is generally 
beneficial to shift to a size pot two 
or three inches larger. Small shifts 
are not recommended. In potting 
large plants, charcoal or coarse 
black osmunda fibre should be 
used to insure good drainage.
