Vanda Hybrid Verification and Growing Tips

Identifying Vanda Hybrids: ASCDA and Vanda Crosses

Angelo bought three Vandas in Orlando. Two have tags: (1) "ASCDA Butterfly Chavanananda x ASCDA Suksamran Spot" – googled, not found. (2) "V. Charungrales x V. Kultana Blue" – not flowered, combo not found. Third has no tag, flowered; links to photos provided. He waters daily with hose mister, feeds 20-20-20 twice weekly via spray bottle.

Expert Response

Angelo, checked database: Ascda (Ascocenda) Butterfly Chavananda not registered with RHS yet. Ascda Suksamran Spot is registered (V. Gold Spots x Ascda Butterfly, 1987, multiple AOS awards). Can trace registered crosses to species. Vanda Charungrales (V. Madame Rattara x V. Varai, 1977, no awards). Vanda Kultana Blue (V. coerulea x V. Chusri Naratingsa, 1976, awarded). Third plant in photos is excellent condition—right treatment. Mentions RF Orchids in Homestead (Robert Fuchs, Vandaceous specialist, awarded hybrids). Personal notes about family visits to Florida.
