1. Sunlight:

   • Provide bright filtered light for healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
   • Shield from intense midday rays to prevent leaf burn.

2. Water:

   • Water 3-4 times a week, thoroughly saturating the root system each time.
   • Misting the aerial roots occasionally helps mimic its natural habitat.

3. Air Circulation:

   • Ensure proper air circulation to prevent stagnant air, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.

4. Temperature and Humidity:

   • Maintain a warm and humid environment, ideally between 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F) during the day and slightly cooler at night.

5. Potting and Mounting:

   • Vanda Mimi Palmer is an epiphytic orchid, so consider mounting it on a sturdy surface or using a well-draining orchid potting mix.

6. Fertilization:

   • Provide balanced orchid fertilizer, diluted to half-strength, every two to three weeks during the growing season.
   • Reduce or cease fertilization during the resting period to avoid overfeeding.

7. Repotting:

   • Repot sparingly, typically every two to three years or when the potting medium breaks down, as Vanda orchids prefer to be root-bound.
