I am about to buy vanda orchid. I have already killed three. What do I have to do to keep them alive??

I bought 3 vanda orchids from ebay. They were seedlings. I have killed them off. I put them in the correct soil for orchids and misted them daily on a sunny window sill. Any tips to keep them alive would be most appreciated - I would talk to them if that would help!!!!!

i was told not to put them in any soil. put it in a teak wooden basket with maybe a little spanish moss. if you are in a warm climate right now, hang it on a tree branch outside, where it gets dappled sunlight, but not direct. bring it inside when the temps start to drop into the mid 50's at night. indoors hang it in a southern exposure window, but perhaps with a light filtering shade so it's bright but not direct. mist daily and, inside or out, once a week, mist with a weak orchid fertilizer. (think, "weakly weekly) i bought a small starter one in march and it is slow growing but still alive. i was told it would take 3-5 years to bloom.
Reply:Stop buying them.

Reply:If you are a beginner to orchids, you may want to start with a different variety. Vanda orchids usually like a lot of sun compared to many other varieties. Additionally, seedlings might need more specific care. If you want to buy orchids, it is often better to go where you can actually see the plants for yourself. You can also purchase from well-thought-of orchid nurseries, who will help you with tips and information on growing your plants. Even Meijer stores and Lowes stores sell some orchid plants. A good beginning plant to grow is the Phalenopsis. This plant is usually sold at blooming-size, or very near blooming-size, and does not have such high light requirements as Vandas do. If you still want to buy a Vanda orchid, purchase one that is larger, because a seedling size Vanda will take quite awhile before it is ready to bloom, even in the best of enviroments (a greenhouse). Try purchasing a book about orchids, go to a local orchid show, or visit an orchid greenhouse (one really large grower is located in the greater-Chicago area). You might even like to become a member of your local Orchid Society, and you will get all the advice you want, at their meetings. Good luck with your hobby.
