Vanda Pakchong Blue FCC/AOS (V. Doctor Anek x V. coerulea) are reaching to 5 to 6 feet tall in basket. This Vanda produces lovely large blue flowers. Both the parents are different shades of blue, the blue strain from coerulea makes this hybrid very much in demand. An easy bloomer, loves a lot of light and water.
Vanda orchids must not be allowed to dry out entirely. Saturate the roots with water every time you water, that means the roots should turn green and retain a drop of water at the tip. Watering of Vandas must be done with care to prevent water from remaining in the crowns (top leaves), a condition that can cause crown rot.
