VANDAS 
Vandas have taken a major place in the orchid world just in the past few 
years, and when you become acquainted with their merits, you, too, will want 
to include them in your orchid collection. 
We have found the best potting media to be charcoal. The plants should 
be potted in larger pots than you would normally pot other orchids of similar 
size. They must be fed often—especially if soluble fertilizer is used. 
We can ship Vandas to you bare root for potting on arrival—or, we will 
ship in pots if you instruct us to do so. 
Plants priced at $5 are in 5" pots in charcoal, the $7.50 size range from 
5-6" pots, and flowering-size plants are usually in 6-8" pots.
