Vanda denisoniana
orchids
Description
Vanda denisoniana is a stunning orchid known for its large, fragrant, and waxy white flowers. These flowers often display subtle green or yellow markings at their base, adding to their elegance. The plant itself is an epiphyte, meaning it grows on other plants, typically trees, in its natural habitat. It has thick, terete (round in cross-section) leaves that store water, allowing it to withstand periods of drought. This orchid thrives in warm, humid environments with bright, indirect light, mimicking its native Southeast Asian conditions. Regular watering and good air circulation are crucial for its health. Providing support, such as a hanging basket or mounting on a piece of wood, is helpful for its growth.
