Growing Vanda Orchids in Pots - Thoughts and Repotting

Today we talk about how growing Vanda orchids is not only possible, but even very successful!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Since most Vanda orchids are bare rooted, they will definitely need a period of adjusting to potted culture. I like to do temporary setups that acclimate Vandas without stressing them when repotting • The importance of temp...
Other than that, any setup that has synergy with you and your conditions should work just fine, as long as it respects the 3 principles of orchid nature: water, air and safe medium for roots!

Btw.. forgot the burdens out for the night and they pooped everywhere! 😂 Ofcourse I noticed after filming 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@teresabrockett7525]

We have a Macaw...you haven't seen poop, lol!!! ;)

[@andredumas9547]

Very interesting Danny, I have potted my vanda 2 months ago in equal volumes of large bark, desalinated coco husk and large lava rock and it is doing well. I am about to do the same for my vandopsis parishii. I am using clear slotted plastic pots. Thanks for sharing.

[@kateluvshugz]

thank you for making this video; i never would have tried this without such a good tutorial

[@teresabrockett7525]

I live in Maine, USA, and my home is only around 50°F at night. After an EXTREMELY GRADUAL transition period, I have had very good success with water culture for almost 2 years now, with flowers and fat healthy roots. I keep them in a southern window in clear glass containers with the bottom 1/3 of the roots submerged. I know that WC isn't for everyone, but it really works for me. :)

[@sharonholmes4444]

@Teresa Brockett...you keep them in water "all the time?" I'm in Arizona and I've been growing the same way but my bottom roots turn black and mushy so I have to do dry days and spray the roots with a water bottle too often🤔 What's your secret if I may ask? Good thing I'm home a lot or I couldn't keep up with the water bottle spraying. Tia

[@teresabrockett7525]

@@sharonholmes4444 I'm so sorry, I just saw this! I had to go very slowly, alternating wet "feet" days with dry days over a few months, adding longer wet times as I went. I lost some roots of course, and I found that the new growth was thick and short, instead of the usual long, slender roots, but those new roots live quite happily with their "toes" dipped in the water. I change it every couple of weeks and add fertilizer as needed. At the moment, several are spiking, so it's working. Best of luck. :)

[@sharonholmes4444]

@@teresabrockett7525💚 My Vanda's are now also showing beautiful short fat green roots. I've been spraying them daily with a mixture of Cal-mag and Seaweed extract in their vases. And every 5 days I submerge them up to the baskets with a full dose of Cal-mag, Better grow orchid plus, and Seaweed extract. Loving the results... thank you!

[@teresabrockett7525]

Oh! There is only one comment never been this early! So thank you Danny you have been an inspiration to me and my love for orchids! I used to be scared of orchids and now my collection has grown to around 50 in just a year. So thank you for letting me be adventurous and try all kinds of orchids!😊

[@theotherliz_13]

Thrilled about this. I just got my very first vanda a few weeks ago as a surprise seedling in a larger order. I'm so happy it came as a seedling potted already now.

[@inajaraschuaber1061]

Thanks. My 2 vandas are potted because of you. ❤❤

[@Misslou2425]

Zone 6 grower here, USA. Mine are all potted and have been...just about my entire 5 yrs of growing. I have a few in large baskets with lava rock and shredded coconut husk around their roots. They LOVE it. Great root growth and thriving with blooms! Mind you...my " media" is VERYYYYY large. Large bits of lava rocks and loose and airy shredded basket liner ( cocohusk) is perfect for those of us who hate daily watering. In summer when they go outside, they STILL love it! The media doesn't stay soggy/ wet.

[@claritojavier2478]

How do you plant all roots inside the pots or leave some outside?

[@claritojavier2478]

My vanda leaves start wrinkling..is it no enough water?

[@Misslou2425]

@@claritojavier2478 it may not be hydrated enough. I actually made a little video on my own channel about potting vandas too. But l.dont use bark. I need mine to dry out a bit faster. How are you growing yours and what is your climate like?

[@denisethompson3]

I’m currently growing two Vanda seedlings I got from a garden center. I took them home and repotted them in a orchid mix I use and they’re currently thriving in the mix. They have doubled in roots in the last month. I just purchased the repotme orchid food MSU. I haven’t tried this product on any of my orchids yet and I’m super excited to see how it does. Btw I live in The USA and my state is super hot and humid. I have my orchids next to the window and they seem to be really loving it. Thank you for the videos. I am kinda new to orchids and all of the videos and suggestions you have given have worked 100% for my plants.

[@susigmage7354]

Thanks Danny. I would like to try Vanda in a pot. Thanks for all your knowledge and experience sharing with us. I'm confident my Vanda will be doing well

[@growingorchidsinjamaica]

Hey Danny, great video. I myself have been potting my vandas as well. However I place them in large hanging baskets with potting medium. I enjoyed 👍🏽

[@plantlover4991]

I am staying in Malaysia. Certain flower nurseries here are planting Vanda in plastic pots with Charcoals.

[@tenchuu007]

Thanks for this video. I'm going to retry vandas in inorganic, see if it works. I had poor results in open root conditions.

[@Alejandro_C62]

This is the way I grow them, in pots with bark and sphagnum moss (mostly with sphagnum moss) and in slotted rePotme pots. I live in US zone 9A, it’s very hot and humid here and it’s easier to soak them once a week than water them daily. I’ve never had issues with root rot and they grow well.

[@williampinsent9016]

Have you ever been into amaryllis? I saw a beautiful deep red one at the flower shop and thought of you!

[@rowenadinsmore1]

I have one vanda growing in a pot but without soil. I placed the vanda in the pot pre pandemic thinking I will get to it once I find a basket. But I forgot about it and it has been doing so well in a corner and has started to flower. Now It has grown so big and the roots are a tangled mess inside a very large pot. Maybe in a few years I will move it once more roots come out from the upper portion.

How often do you water vandas in pots and how much water each time?

[@emmanuellevargas7021]

Thanks for the video ,I bought 35 vandas 2 years ago and they look like they just came out of an invitro jar I am going to try your method if they die so be it 2 years and they look exactly like the day I bought them I have then with plenty of natural light plenty of fertilizer plenty of water and I live in the rain forest in central America so why they don't grow is a mystery coming to an end I am done with these vandas......

[@nicoleundendunn2534]

Do you have any teret vandas and if so do you also put them in pots?

[@sentilaaier8778]

Thanks for this tutorial. Actually it's tiresome to water the bare rooted vandas everyday. Though I'm only a beginner and don't have many orchids I find it a hard job. Are clay pot without side slit okay ? I'm from northeast India with very warm and humid during summer.

[@aartidhopawkar4611]

Thank you for the information. I would love to try out. Although I have 2 questions: Do you think potting Vandas in LECA is a good option? Also, is it Vanda Bangkok sunset or Wuttipanara that's displayed at 5 mins 50 secs of your video. It's gorgeous! Thank you once again. 🙂🙏

[@terrywilliams3310]

Hi, about 18 months ago you did a video on fertilizing orchids and you used a small mesh bag and a slow release fertilizer. It was something new for you and I am wondering what your thoughts are today about that method. thanks

[@sarad3030]

I am so nervous about this experiment. I just saw the video about your Mimi Palmers...

[@daisymukaty1813]

Hi I had been following all your tutorials and I loved it I need to know how to treat my vandals roots that are all dark blackish color I sprayed them with hydrogen peroxide water but how long do I leave this solution in the roots Do I rinse it off after certain time or leaved in the roots

Thanks for the Video MOG, I have a few Vandas and I'm using thrive, can you suggest a good fertilizer for Vanda's please

[@sharingme2052]

What ferlizer you use , like some shows they give epsome salt, DAP, NPK, etc but how they manage to give so much fertilizer m really confuse. May i know your fertilizing routine 🙏plz.

[@wingingit3833]

I once heard an easy way to water orchids is to place a few ice cubes around the roots each day, to ensure a consist watering without rotting since the ice curves should slowly melt. Would the ice be too cold or shock them? Is this a viable method to water?

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, well that's a bunch of nonesense from a company who wants to sell a lot of orchids 🤣 yes ice is very damaging long term for roots, I'd avoid it at all costs :)

[@devinilayangode8633]

Hi Dani, is it fine if I paint the terracotta pots. By painting will I lose the moisture wicking properties and lose out on the benefits.

[@agneslazarenko2653]

Hi Danni. I need some help with a phal that was knocked on the floor by my cat. It was very healthy, good roots. The fall broke some of the roots and a baby spike, but especially it lost the top leaf, so I don't thank it will be able to grow from now on. My only hope is a keiki. Is there any way I can encourage it to grow a keiki?

What kind of fertilizer you used for vanda orchids please?

[@tinaploof9179]

I just noth 10 vafas seedlings 3 weeks ago . They say leaves cant be wet . Can you tell me what is the better way fir me to do

[@raulgutierrezconstante8119]

Keeping bare root Vandas in my neck of the woods .... yeah, right !.... it's February, technically the middle of the winter, the temperature is 85°F and bone dry, wait when the spring shows with 100 - 110 °F temps and even more bone dry. Now Danny, please tell us what can we use instead of moss cuz that thing is nowhere to be seen here !

[@MissOrchidGirl]

Hi, coco peat is a very similar substitute, it's just a bit more delicate to work with, since it's fine and can clog up the air pockets. Worth trying though ☺️

[@chemenginecat3940]

Danny, where do you get your osmocote? I know you said, but I can’t find the video. There’s too many options for osmocote, and I want to be sure I’m getting the right one for my phals
