Vanda Alliance

Ascofinetia Cherry Blossom

(Neofinetia falcata ‘Chutenno’ x Asctm. ampullaceum [China Orange])

A new remake of a classic miniature favorite.  The original cross yielded all soft pink and mauve blooms but this grex is also expected to add some orange coloring to the flowers giving a splash of pizzazz!  Great for small growing spaces as these will stay compact. Over time plants will produce multiple crowns for super showy specimens.

Growing Suggestions: Best suited from intermediate to warm conditions like most members of the Vanda alliance.  Plants will reach approximately 10-12 inches across when mature, and have multiple growths or 'fans' per plant.  These should be grown in hanging baskets for best results, as they will have long aerial roots.  If grown in pots, always use a well-draining open media. High humidity with frequent mistings are needed, and plants should be fertilized every third or fourth watering year round.

We have a small batch of these plants happily growing in 2.5" pots.  Plants are expected to flower for the first time within 12-18 months.

These beautiful plants were provided by our friends at a wholesale orchid nursery in Hawaii. Because we did not raise them in our greenhouses, we can not guarantee them to be virus free as we would our own lab grown material. Otherwise, we guarantee your satisfaction and safe delivery as with other plant purchases.

Darwinara Charm 'Blue Star' HCC/AOS x Holcoglossum amesianum

Darling miniatures in the Vanda alliance!  These seedlings will show mostly light blue and lavender pin-wheel shaped blooms.  Extremely fragrant flowers on compact growing plants. We have bloomed some from this grex and a previous cross with excellent results. 

Growing Suggestions:  These are not bred from standard sized Vandas, so they will not need extremely bright light, nor will they tolerate very high temperatures.  They are very happy in mesh baskets with some media.  Plants currently receive daily misting and once to twice a week we will water them more heavily. 

We are offering Blooming Size plants in 4" mesh baskets.  Very Limited.

Holcoglossum wangii

This rare and unusual species hails from select regions of China and Vietnam where conditions of shady most of the year, with very high humidity. Plants have terete foliage, and are usually grown pedant, with leaves hanging downward as they mature.  Bloom stems emerge on slender inflorescences, and have white petal segments with darker reddish-purple spotting near the heart.  Flowers have an open 'windmill' shape, with each petal having a bit of a twist as the base.

Growing Suggestions: Perfectly suited for intermediate to warm temperatures, usually 65-85 degrees.  Since many people grow these in baskets or on mounts, high humidity is a must in addition to almost daily watering or mistings.  Medium to bright light, depending on how much airflow is available, will be best.  Fertilize year round, every third or fourth watering. Don't repot or re-mount too often as plants do not like to be disturbed once they are settled.

We have available Blooming Size plants in 2.5" pots.  First flowers are expected in the next 6-12 months, in season.
