South Florida: Vanda Orchids and weather change

The weather is changing in South Florida. Shorter days and cooler nights. This change can be good for your Vanda's. The cooler nights with help your Vanda's to start blooming. If you gave your Vanda's plenty of fertilizer and water during the summer, the cooler weather will get them to bloom.

Just be careful. Most Vanda's do best if they do not get below 60 degrees. They will usually survive with lower temperatures, but the lower temp will slow or stop their growth and it may take four or five months before you get them started again. Since they grow slowly, you do not want to loose any growing time.
