Plant Small / seedling size , pot 1" can give flower within a year
Rhynchostylis gigantea BLUE plant small size ,orchid vanda plant home garden foxtail orchid,Aerides
🌿 Overview
Type: Epiphytic orchid (lives attached to trees, not in soil)
Native range: Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines
Flowering: Typically December-February (cool-dry season)
Fragrance: Strong, sweet-spicy, often compared to jasmine or vanilla
🪴 Growing Conditions
1. Light
Medium to bright filtered light (50-70% shade cloth).
Too little light → no flowers; too much → leaf scorch.
Leaves should be a healthy medium green, not dark green (too little light) or yellow (too much light).
2. Temperature
Warm-growing: Day 25-32 °C, Night 18-22 °C.
Tolerates short drops to 15 °C but prolonged cold will slow growth.
3. Watering
Growing season (spring-autumn): Water daily or every other day, keeping roots moist but airy.
Flowering season / cooler months: Reduce watering slightly to encourage bloom spikes.
4. Humidity & Airflow
60-80% humidity.
Good airflow is essential to prevent rot; fans or natural breeze help a lot.
5. Mounting & Potting
Best grown mounted on hardwood or in a wooden/slatted basket with coarse charcoal, bark, or no medium.
Roots dislike being crowded in soggy medium - they prefer air circulation.
6. Fertilizing
Use balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20 or similar) at ¼-½ strength weekly during growth.
Switch to a bloom booster (higher phosphorus) in late autumn to stimulate spikes.
🌸 Blooming Tips
Needs seasonal cues: slightly less water, cooler nights, and bright light in late autumn.
Avoid moving or disturbing the plant once spikes start forming - damage can cause bud blast.
⚠️ Common Problems
Root rot: Usually from poor drainage or overwatering in cool weather.
No blooms: Usually due to insufficient light, too much nitrogen late in the year, or no seasonal change.
Leaf burn: Direct midday sun without shading.
