Vanda Orchids with (many) small flowers – Beauty in numbers
Today we take a look at my small flowered Vandas, which might be better suited for homes and small displays!
🦋 More info below! 🦋
Vanda orchids are generally big plants, which can be grown great bare rooted, or in open baskets. Most Vandas are kept hanging, but this style can be a bit tricky in homes, where space is an issue, even in front of a window.
Smaller flowered Vandas compensate with the sheer number of flowers they produce. Some will open even 50 flowers at one time per spike!
Some of these orchids can also produce multiple spikes, creating a more impressive show that a big flowered Vanda ever will!
Ascocentrum orchids are small Vandaceous orchids which can stay quite small and are suited for pots and home window sills. The flowers are very tiny, but they are produced in great numbers! Neofinetias are very suited for home displays as well!
Aerides and Rhynchostylis can grow as big as typical Vandas, but they are usually fragrant and produce some of the most impressive flower displays!
