Hello Miro, and CONGRATULATIONS on purchasing those absolutely stunning beauties! I am an avid orchid collector along with some houseplants, but orchids are my favorite genus. I'm looking forward to going on this journey with you with these vandas. I have the richostylist type, and they are growing well for me. I grow them bare root in clay pots. Best of growing to you with them . ❤
If you ever pass through Rockford Illinois in February through March , Nicholas Conservatory has an orchid display with a wall of Vandas in bloom. ❤ (Also, their Japanese Gardens is beautiful too.)😊
Beautiful! 💚 both of them … my personal favorite is the yellowish one! I am in Canada… and I have three vandas… the two smaller ones get dunked in rain water with the equivalent of rain mix (100 ppm) magnesium (20 ppm) and calcium (50 ppm) every day for an hour. The large one with a very large root system gets dunked in the same mixture every two days in winter. Humidity here is very low in winter and winter lasts well… forever! As I am writing this it is at 35% … I know… but, despite this and the very short days (no supplemental lights but they are in a sun room in a south large window) two of them are spiking and one finished blooming about 1 month ago… some vandals have beautiful fragrance… my denisoniae hybrid has a honey smell and vanda tessellata will be blooming for the first time is supposed to have a nice fragrance… 🤞🏻 good luck with yours!
Oh okay, that is definitely more frequent than what I had in mind. The humidity in my room is 60-70% so that helps. It will get lower during summer, but not as low as 35%. I am lucky when it gets to 45-50%. That is as dry as it will get. So I guess I can think about soaking them every 2-3 days then :)
O Miro, they were so pretty and showy. Beautiful colouration and the roots .... incredible. Have a few orchids, they are about 15 years old at this point and flower twice a year. Keep them in a shower room with a big east window. But mine are nothing like these they are art, like paintings. Enjoy them and love them, you are very lucky to own them. Such a nice video, as always,💌
Wow they are absolutely gorgeous 😍 I'd love to help you out, but I know nothing about them. Still getting the hang of potting up and watering the "easy" ones lol. I'm loving the orchid content so if anyone complains, that's too bad for them 😅 Much love as always, R
haha exactly! I won't allow any orchid complaints! :D I think you will quickly get to a stage where you will feel courageous enough to take on a Vanda :)
My daughter had the opportunity to go to Saint Croix about three years ago and she said that the orchids over there are just simply gorgeous and you can see them everywhere growing on trees. I have one mini Vanda orchid, I almost killed it this year but I think it’s on the road back to recovery. I don’t remember what the other three orchids I have are. I have a grocery store bought orchid at my office that I received last year for my birthday and it is in spike , I can hardly wait for the blooms to emerge! Sometimes it takes me forever to re-bloom, an orchid, however, the one at my office is on its second bloom in my care. You picked out some beautiful orchids!
Thats the only downside of knowing what your flowers will looklike. Sometimes youre disappointed just because of expectation even if you otherwise would love it. Inthe future, you can ask for clone grown vandas and not seed grown so that you know exactly what you get.
I am vacationing in Florida and went to an orchid festival just today! It was at an orchid grower. There were 2 very lathe green houses with vandas hanging from one end to the other! I love in Wisconsin so needless to say, I did not buy a Vanda. I did but a bulbophyllum and an epidendrum! Thank you for always entertaining me.
Absolutely beautiful new children Miro. 😍 Considering their journey to you - what fabulous condition they arrived in. It’s a slippery slope from here…..start building an extension now😂😘
I adore Vandas! I have 7 and they reward me so often with flowers, even in my murky grey uk climate. Never underestimate the amount of water they need , I killed my first one by following the ansu Vanda culture reccomendations. I haven’t killed another one since 🤣. I think I will pot my large ones soon, so I don’t have to water daily. But they are such wonderful plants, mine really are worth the cost. I want to collect mini Vandas
How frequently do you water them? I now spray them 2x a day and will soak them once a week. Perhaps that is too infrequent? I also watched some other people's videos that grow orchids and they too water them once a week but some leave them to soak over night. I am not sure I am courageous enough for that! I could definitely up the watering to 2x a week and daily (heavy) spraying.
I soak mine in big bucket for 15/ 30 mins every other day in the winter. Then in the summer I soak them daily. Soaking seemed a bit less of a faff than spraying was. I am considering potting my largest one though , as daily soaking or spraying them in the bath is a lot of effort some days. That said they’ve been living and blooming happily so it’s been great. I sometimes just lay them in the bathtub and let them have a little soak 🤣. They are most pampered plants I own & they are worth it. They certainly let you know they aren’t getting enough water, I found the roots desiccate really quickly. Good luck with yours , I feel much better about killing my Vanda now I know you’ve had that accident too.
Hi Miro. Congratulations! Don't worry about waiting and seeing whether you can manage orchids because Orchids are much more easier to maintain than Hoyas. Flowers are bigger too. Try native ones. You will love the cute flowers of the native orchids. Enjoy. Good Day
I love the white/ yellow one too :) But I would like to get some dark red ones as well and orange. So many colors to have! :) I love these because of how big and impressive they are but yes, the size might be an issue :D
I always love your content and watch them all...but this one made me so happy personally! I've been growing orchids for years and just recently discovered hoyas! So now I have two dangerous obsessions and a bunch of freaking plants everywhere now. 😅 Your new Vanda's are gorgeous! Congratulations! ❤
Also, I have one Vanda who came from Hawaii to Northern Illinois. I thought it would hate it as our winters have low humidity (currently 25%) and short days of light. However, it usually stays at almost continuously 68-85 in the room it lives in.) That thing is my most adaptable and healthy plant. It does ADORE light and warmth and it is in a south east facing window. I feel I could do anything to it...except get rid of it's light and heat. She gets watered around every five days and frequently spikes. Her roots get dunked unceremoniously in a bucket with a lid I cut a hole for the roots to go through so it sits on top... but just like you, I keep her root base slightly above the water so she doesn't accidentally get water between her leaves. She sits in the bucket for 10 minutes. She gets MSU fertilizer twice a month. She is RIGHT next to the window so she does experience colder temps at night and very warm ones during the day. (That window heats up the room and in the winter, the forced air makes that room very warm.) I don't know if that helps her so much with spiking. I was amazed she did so well here because I would be happier in Hawaii than N. Illinois but she's an absolute champ and I love her plant 'personality'! Which sounds super weird but she's so adaptable. I don't know if that will encourage you but I hope so because you've really helped me with my hoyas!
Welcome to the dark side 😂😂😂 Orchids is how I started until you corrupted me into getting Hoyas 😂😂😂 I have missed you. Hope you’re well and have a fantastic week😊I don’t think orchids are as difficult as Hoya or anthuriums
Most orchids are not. I never had any issues with Phalaenopsis, Paphiopedilums, Cymbidiums, Oncidiums, Cattleyas, Dendrobiums in the past but Vanda.... We hope these live! :D But you are right, most are easier than Hoya & the flowers are amazing and last a long time :)
Im a bit intimidated by vandas. Afraid i dont have the best light indoors but outside i do, in the spring and summer but its get so cold in the winter. However if you like vandas... You gotta check out the miniature primary hybrids or the neofinetia falcattas. Theyre cooler growers the neofinetias but the minis can tolerate less light and less heat. Best wishes and im sure theyll do great! Youre an avid researcher and i value that, and so do the plants.
Loved the white/cream one. I have given up on orchids. I can never rebloom them; and don't appreciate their foliage enough to not have the flowers. I feel the same with hoya. If I can't bloom them they better have really unique foliage.
Hi, Miro, and congrats on your vanda beauties! Both are gorgeous. I definitely want a blue one (maybe 'China blue') and an orange one, but want to try myself with cheaper Phals and Paphs first. The ones in our big garden centers in Munich are 59-60 Euros at the moment and look way worse than yours, especially the roots. Also, if I give my money, I want to know what exactly I buy. No ID is an absolute show stopper for me, for any plants.
I think I matched these well, but all Vandas in garden centers that are ANSU, I assume, are no ID. I think one can probably reach out to ANSU & they could tell the ID. There are a lot of purple ones so IDing those gets hard, to me a lot seem similar. But the white one was easy and some other colors would be easy too since there are only few :) These came to me fresh off the truck - so immediately I started taking (what I think is) good care of them. In garden centers, they are not going to spray them twice a day, soak them, put them under good lights, in decent humidity & good room temperature. They are probably a bit chilly & the light is crap. So, they can deteriorate quite fast. I see this happen with sooo many plants, where I get something from a flower store, and it looks great in my home, but when I return to the same place in 2-3 days, the rest of the batch from which I picked starts to look terrbile. :/ So, I'd recommend getting them ASAP - the more the stay in the garden center, the worse they will looks. It is the same with many other orchids too. I agree you should start with Phals - I don't talk about orchids a lot here, but I did have a semi big orchid collection, rebloomed almost all of them (with the exception of Rhychostylis), so I feel more confident with Vandas. :) But we will see!
@@BasiePlants I bought my first orchid 5 months ago by looks alone and it is a Dracula lotax. NOT for beginners! So I definitely need to be more choosy, hehe. I would only get an expensive orchid from an orchid nurcery, luckily enough there are plenty of them here in Germany. The dracula is doing pretty good and growing in my Milsbo, and I added 4 phalaenopsis, 2 paphiopedalums and an orange masdevalia recently. But vandas... not there yet.
I loved when you said AND not OR. I cant stop laughing . Vanda orchids are way out of my depth. I tried to keep one in my terrarium as i totally do not have it in me to water the way it requires. I killed it so fast.
I’ve never seen a Vanda with such roots geez…usually they are smaller, in a wooden slat box with a flower spike. I’ve never tried one, I have a Dendrobium on my wish list, time to add a Vanda! Enjoyed this video, thanks Miro! 🤗🌱
Oh really? I have seen some with even bigger roots :D There are some Florida grown that look HUGE :D Try Dendrobium 'Berry Oda' - it is sooo cute, fragrant & very easy!
Stop it with the orchids Miro, you're making me want to get more of them, and you know I'm a certified card carrying orchid murderer. Like, you're going to be personally responsible for more orchids dying in my care. How dare you 😘
Most likely your vandas were actually seed grown and they vary a lot Granted, most of the ones in the photos look to be sanderiana hybrids or their photos were sugfering to pick up the colors as often happens. Im sure you know.
P.S. species vandas are a lot of the time NOT subtle. And some of rhe most impressive imo. But not necessarily as big of flowers in a lot of cases. However, i think they are even more colorful.
I just love the gorgeous champagne hue of the sea shell 🫠🤤 Maybe you've heard the fantastic Swedish word "villhöver", a contraction of want/need, and I think I definitely villhöver some of these. Hope you keep us updated on their progress.
@@BasiePlants Yes, they hold an exhibition every spring and fall. The Hoya range probably doesn't have anything new to offer, but there are usually many beautiful orchids to be found. Have a wonderful time in Sweden!

Thank you! 🥰 Do you grow these types of vandacious orchids too?
I literally turn on your youtube videos and do my own plant chores with you. ❤
I am glad to hear that 🥰 Next video is plant chores!
Me too!!
Stunning! Best of luck. No orchids here….maybe someday. You inspire so many plant enthusiasts!
I hope you try some, they are lovely and in many cases easier than Hoya!
The only Vanda I have seen is in the St Louis botanical garden! They are magical ✨️ ❤ yours are both beautiful! ❤

I love that the King of Hoyas is dabbling more of his toes in other varieties of plants 🥰❤️
Oh my goodness - every time I look at these flowers my heart misses a beat‼️😲😍😲 Stunning 🤩
Same! :D They are perfect!

I hope they can do well, so I can make nice care videos and make you all buy Vandas 🤣

Sounds tempting
Another fun video! 🙃
Gorgeous
OMG Miro I am obsessed with Vanda orchids! How did you know?? These are gorgeous.
I am psychic! :D Do you have any?
@BasiePlants No I am looking though. I'm in the NE US and every one I see is over $100!
Congratulations and best of luck with the vandas!

Ohhhhh and now it’s the venture to Orchids. This is a whole new kingdom of treasures! Miro, don’t look at the blooms don’t. 😱🤭. Love ♥️♥️♥️
Excellent price! I got one similar color a few years ago, now that it is more mature, it blooms twice a year!
Oh nice! I hope I can get this to bloom, even once a year :) But if I can get it to bloom twice a year or God forbid two flower spikes at once.... :D

So good to see a smile on your face 😊
Oh boy...Vandas indoors is a major challenge. I wish you all the luck. I love Vandas, but they get so huge and take so much care to bloom.
Nice plants, I prefer the yellow one but for myself prefer the smaller ones, I have a young Vanda mariae I hope I'll evnentually get to bloom
I love the white/ yellow one too :) But I would like to get some dark red ones as well and orange. So many colors to have! :) I love these because of how big and impressive they are but yes, the size might be an issue :D
Omg come visit me in San Francisco the sf orchid society puts on orchid shows/markets with TONS OF vandas!
Oh I wish! If only the ticket was cheaper! :D
Just stunning.
Ahh yes…poor you 🤣🤣 I feel your pain!! Beautiful orchids! Never seen those vanda ones before….I’m intrigued-I think I NEEEEED one! Xxxx

Def should have a tag ID

Stop it with the orchids Miro, you're making me want to get more of them, and you know I'm a certified card carrying orchid murderer. Like, you're going to be personally responsible for more orchids dying in my care. How dare you 😘
I will take the blame! I will hold your hands Tessa on your orchid journey. No worries! :D
Yay a Miro video!😁
At last! :D
AHHHH orchid!
P.S. check out The Orchid Saga. He has a great take on his vandas. And you can use same principals of growing vlbut with glass.
FYI... You shouldn't touch the flower petals. The oil in your skin will rot the pedals.That goes for all orchids.
That's not exactly true. I touch mine all the time and their find
Don't be wishing them or anything but it's totally fine
Most likely your vandas were actually seed grown and they vary a lot
Granted, most of the ones in the photos look to be sanderiana hybrids or their photos were sugfering to pick up the colors as often happens. Im sure you know.
P.S. species vandas are a lot of the time NOT subtle. And some of rhe most impressive imo. But not necessarily as big of flowers in a lot of cases. However, i think they are even more colorful.
🌿💚🌿💚
I was considering hanging a vanda on my shower but I don’t know if it would work - I like very hot showers 😂
I just love the gorgeous champagne hue of the sea shell 🫠🤤 Maybe you've heard the fantastic Swedish word "villhöver", a contraction of want/need, and I think I definitely villhöver some of these. Hope you keep us updated on their progress.
I will! They must keep growing and blooming 😅 I haven’t heard of that word but clearly villhöver all of them 🤣
March 20-23, 2025. There will be an Orchid exhibition in Budapest. Just saying ;)
