Culture Notes from Donor: Pod parent plant: Temperature range W (70-90°F)
Comments: Pod parent plant: We grow this Vanda bare root hanging from a steel wire under normal insect screen as the only shade (in Florida). Plant is watered daily with a spray of water until the roots turn apple green. During our hot dry spring additional water is applied in the heat of the day by an automated mist system. Large plant.

The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Java and Bali. This species is still common all over Java
growing in bright conditions on fairly open tree branches at 2300-5250 ft.
(700-1600 m). One of the locations were plants are most easily found is in
trees near the borders of tea plantations. Plants have also been reported
in the Philippines and Australia, but Comber (1990) indicated that plants
from these locations are unlikely to represent natural distribution and
probably resulted from introductions. Comber (1990) reported that var.
tricolor, both the normal color form and the dark form, are found mostly
in West Java while var. suavis is found mostly in Central and East Java.
Some writers, however, indicate that the two varieties may be found
together.
