Bare roots
The Vanda mariae is a rare Philippine endemic species prized for its 4-5cm crystalline pink flowers with intricate dark veining and sweet honey fragrance. This intermediate-level orchid thrives in warm 24-30°C summer temperatures with high humidity (70-85%), performing best when grown bare-root mounted on cork or in slatted baskets. Water daily in summer (reducing frequency in winter), ensuring roots dry slightly between soakings. Provide bright filtered light (4,000-6,000 lux) - the leathery leaves should feel firm, not limp. As a trophy-status endemic, it's coveted by collectors for its limited wild distribution and elegant floral display. Flowers appear reliably in spring when given proper winter rest and temperature variation.
