In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

The Vanda sanderiana, also known as the Waling-waling, is one of the most impressive and desirable species within the genus Vanda. Known for its large, rich flowers, this botanical beauty is the proud national flower of the Philippines. A must-have for any serious orchid collector.

Origin

Vanda sanderiana is native to the southern regions of the Philippines, particularly on the island of Mindanao. It grows there as an epiphyte in warm, moist forests, often high in trees where it catches abundant light. The species was described in the 19th century and named after Henry Frederick Conrad Sander, a noted orchid pioneer.

Characteristics

This Vanda species produces impressively large flowers that can grow up to 12 inches wide! The inflorescences consist of multiple flowers with soft pink to lavender hues, often with darker markings on the lip. The leaves are leathery, broad and arranged two-row along a sturdy stem. Compared to other Vandas, this species grows a bit slower, but the reward is one of the most elegant inflorescences within the genus.

Care

Light

Vanda sanderiana needs plenty of light to grow and flower well. A spot in front of a south window or under grow lights is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Temperature

This species likes heat. During the day it feels best at temperatures between 24 and 30°C, while at night 18 to 22°C is ideal. Avoid cold drafts and temperature fluctuations.

Substrate

Like other Vandas, this species grows best without traditional substrate. Use a hanging basket or transparent pot without potting soil. Make sure the roots can hang freely and get plenty of air.

Humidity

A high humidity of at least 60% is desirable, with good ventilation. With lower humidity, it is advisable to spray daily or use a humidifier.

Watering

Water daily during warm periods, preferably with demineralized water. Allow the roots to dry completely between waterings, especially in cooler months. In an open suspension system, you can dip the plant briefly or spray liberally.

Nutrition

Feed weekly with a highly diluted orchid fertilizer during the growing season. In winter, once a month is sufficient.

Flowering

Flowering usually occurs in the warmer months. With proper care, Vanda sanderiana can bloom annually, and the flowers often remain beautiful for weeks. A flowering stimulus such as more light or slightly drier dormancy can help promote flowering.
