Hallo everyone.

I'm a new member on this forum. I love growing orchids. Especially Vanda and Ascda. Unfortunatly I don't have a lot of space, because I have to grow them in my windowsill. I don't have room for a greenhouse. And here in Holland it's not really possible to put them oudside 24/7. But when the weather is good I put them oudside in the garden. I hope to learn a lot here.

Hallo Rosie,

Thanks a lot. I'm sure I will learn a lot here on the forum. There is so many to know about orchids. Hope there are a lot of members with Vandaceos orchids, who can teach me more.

I think we have a lot of Vandaceos fans here. We have three Vandaceos sub-forums...

Vanda Alliance - Neofinetia!
Vanda Allience - Angreaceum/Aerangis!
Vanda Alliance - others!

I think you will enjoy yourself

It's good to know that there are some sub-forums especially about Vandeaceos orchids. I will look around there. Thanks.

Can't claim to have lived in Holland, but our family is from Appingedam originally. Welcome!

Welcome fellow vanda lover! I only have windows to grow in as well. I put mine out for the summer here, but it sometimes gets a little cool at night, so I often bring them in and put them in an east window so they catch the first sun in the morning. When it warms up, I put them back out.
