Vanda tricolor

Vanda tricolor is a botanical orchid species originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Indonesia. It is a medium to large-sized monopodial epiphytic plant that thrives in warm to intermediate conditions with bright, filtered to strong light.

This species is appreciated for its elegant and often fragrant flowers, typically white to cream with purple to brown spotting and a contrasting lip. The blooms are long-lasting and are produced on arching inflorescences, sometimes more than once per year under good growing conditions.

It is cultivated hanging with bare roots, allowing excellent air circulation and closely mimicking its natural growing habit.

To care for Vanda tricolor, it is important to water frequently, especially during the growing season. Being grown with bare roots, it requires regular hydration, often several times per week or daily in warm periods, while allowing the roots to dry slightly between waterings.

High humidity, strong light and good air circulation are essential for healthy growth and flowering. A refined and fragrant species, ideal for growers who appreciate natural cultivation and elegant Vanda-type orchids.
