Vanda Marilyn Mirro 'Peter Lin' HCC/AOS - Awarded as Ascda Marilyn Mirro 'Peter Lin' HCC/AOS in 1996.

my first AOS award back in 1996. Ironically it wasn't a Phalaenopsis. Then this was awarded as Ascocenda. This isn't doing too well in a Phalaenopsis house. Not getting enough water but it managed to hang on after all these years.

I can see why it was awarded. Very attractive color and shape.

Gorgeous color! Does it need brighter light and maybe cooler nights than Phals?

Yes, Vanda needs bright light and warm to hot temperature. Best way to grow Vanda is frequent watering and fertilizing but allow the roots to be dry completely in a very humid and warm environment.

I try to reduce watering by placing spanish moss around roots and basket.
