Vanda coerulea

The blue vanda species - Vanda coerulea. It doesn't need to grow huge to flower, my plant is blooming sized:



It does need however to grow some new roots.

Vanda coerulea is relatively slow growing species and might put out just one set of new leaves through the season.

Tolerant of colder temps it can withstand down to 5-10 C - just goes dormant and stops the growing.

I read somewhere that it needs temperature drops to induce blooms and hope to achieve it by placing plant on the windowsil closer to window glass during freezing winter times.
We shall see if it works.
