Are You Watering Your Vanda's Enough?

Growers of Vandas know that these plants need much water.

But how can you tell if you are giving enough?


Some of the signs of UNDER WATERING are listed below. However, please note that most of these signs can have OTHER meanings also. Be careful, observe your plants, and be aware of your environment.

1. If the leaves do not unfold from the top of the plant, it could be a sign of under watering.

2. Under watering can also cause the leaves to turn pale yellow.

3. Flower spikes fail to mature and bloom.

4. Wrinkling of the leaves.

5. White roots fail to absorb water. If this happens, you may need to soak the roots in water until they turn green.


If you conclude that your Vandas are under watered, you need to make sure that each time you finish watering that your roots have turned completely green. If this does not solve your problem, then you need to increase the frequency of watering also.



Good Growing!
