Vanda Joaquim Orchid Plant 2 " Pot ~ Grow Hawaii |
|
 |
| I’m a hybrid cross made about 1890
by a Mr. Joaquim of Singapore and named for his daughter Agnes. I
was brought to Hawaii around 1930 but I did not become world
famous until 1946 when I was marketed in the US. I was first used
as a lei flower in 1938 and eventually became very popular. Hilo
and Puna districts of the Big Island, Hawaii, are main centers of
commercially grown vandas. I have light lavender petals and a dark
lavender lip, and I last and last and last. |

Growing Instructions: Pot in coarse chunks of fir or redwood bark
mixed with large perlite and hardwood charcoal for drainage (Orchid mix).
Seedlings grow nicely with diffuse sun or broad-spectrum florescent tubes.
Mature Vandas do best in a greenhouse and outdoors in full sun during the
summer in temperate climates. My plant will thrive with 60 to 70 percent
humidity and temperatures of 65F to 70F at nights; if the day temperatures
are over 90F, keep the humidity high. Fertilize when my plant is making
new leaves with a timed-release 14-14-14 fertilizer. Also, occasionally
applications of water-soluble fertilizers diluted to half strength. |
