They're huge flowers! Very blue in color too but heavily patched with white. The plant in this pic is quite large too.

The pachara delight that I just posted also had a spike that blasted when I got it, but it spiked again about a month later. I find that when they want to boom, they'll keep pushing till they do bloom.

I can't wait to see the flowers on your double spiker! The motes indigo Vanda's are really nice plants
Nothing worse than a yellowing spike on a brand new orchid!!! Glad yours is rebounding too. They're fun plants. I love that there's no media required!

Hey NYC....feel free to shoot me a message if you're willing to try out vandas again. I think i might be able to help you to get them to that point or even better.

Gifts to the dark side of the force. Lol I kid.

Dunno really. They grow right underneath t5 lamps and get watered a lot and fed a lot of fertilizer so I guess that's what does it. I'm shocked I was able to do this well with them. The roots are about two feet long and once they touch the water in the bucket I use to soak them, they just roll around the curve of the bucket and they simply rest inside it. When I go to check my chids and water the others I put these guys In The bucket right away and remove them once I'm done with everyone else.

Also, I use solo fertilizer on these plants. As soon as I used it on them, maybe a week later, the roots branched heavily and new ones appeared. New leaves weren't far behind.

Look at those thick FAT roots!
How often do you water this fella?
Is this placed outdoors shaded?

I did! And I water them by soaking in a large bucket of water with fertilizer.
