Kagawara Christie Low

[Bud]

(Renanthera Nancy Chandler X Ascocenda Memoria Choo LaiKeun)
Kagawara is a hybrid of Vanda x Ascocentrum x Renanthera.
I give it bright but not direct sun; this can be grown from May to September outdoors or up til two weeks before frost comes. Best hanging and mounted but I grow this in S/H because it has very long fat roots that is hard to moisten evenly….morning spray, flush every other week …. weekly weakly fertilizer of Algoflash alternated with seaweed mix and worm tea mix
Temperature: 80F all year indoors and can withstand 105F at the height of summer heat wave out in the fire escape.
Humidifier in winter and oscillating small electric fan
*this is a 5 year old given to me almost dying by a florist friend 3 years ago….notice how the bottom leaves have all fallen off….it is still recovering; the three top layers of leaves are healthy and the rest are still either cold water marked or with insect bites. It is 2.5 feet tall not including the spikes. The roots are 2 feet long all curled inside the drilled glass vase filled with hydroton.
