Vanda Dr Anek × Kulwadee

Vanda Dr Anek × Kulwadee is a cultivated hybrid renowned for its tall, upright flowering stems and vibrant clusters of broad, magenta-hued blooms. As a mericlone, it produces genetically identical plants with consistent floral display, ideal for collectors or structured garden displays.

Distinctive Features

• Striking floral display: Produces 6 to 8 large flowers per stem, with rounded petals and intense colouration.
• Mericlone reliability: Uniform growth and blooming habit make this hybrid predictable and rewarding.
• Upright inflorescence: Flowers are borne on tall vertical stems, adding structure to displays or arrangements.

Care Tips

• Light: Bright indirect light indoors; outdoors in filtered sun or lightly shaded conditions.
• Water: Water thoroughly when roots turn silvery, especially during warm weather. Allow slight drying between waterings.
• Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity; occasional misting can support aerial roots in drier climates.
• Media: Best grown in coarse bark, slatted baskets or suspended pots with excellent airflow.
• Temperature: Thrives in subtropical to warm temperate conditions, ideally 18–30 °C; avoid frost.
• Fertiliser: Apply balanced orchid fertiliser fortnightly during active growth; reduce frequency in cooler months.
• Repotting: Only when media breaks down or roots outgrow the container – typically every 2–3 years.
