Renantanda Cherry Rose

Renantanda Cherry Rose

A bold and vibrant hybrid, Renantanda Cherry Rose (genus: Renantanda) is the result of a cross between Renanthera and Vanda orchids—two genera known for their exotic beauty and strong floral displays. This tropical stunner produces cascading sprays of richly saturated cherry-rose blooms with magenta undertones and slightly ruffled petals. Each flower cluster can hold dozens of blooms, creating a dazzling floral spectacle when in full display.

With an upright, semi-vining growth habit, this epiphytic orchid prefers to grow mounted or in open baskets, where its roots can breathe and thrive. Its thick, strap-like leaves emerge alternately along the stem, providing a strong architectural element even when not in bloom. In the right conditions, it can flower more than once per year, offering long-lasting color and tropical elegance.

🌿 Care Guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light or partial sun. Ideal for east or south-facing exposures with filtered light. Avoid harsh midday sun to prevent leaf scorch.
• Water: Water thoroughly when roots turn silvery-white and dry out slightly between waterings. Frequency may vary depending on humidity and container style (mounted vs potted).
• Humidity: Prefers high humidity (60–80%). Mist daily or use a humidity tray if indoors.
• Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical conditions between 65–90°F. Avoid exposure to temps below 50°F.
• Air Circulation: Excellent airflow is key to keeping roots healthy and preventing fungal issues. Ideal for breezy patios or greenhouses.
• Feeding: Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) diluted to half strength every 2 weeks during the growing season. Reduce to monthly in cooler months.
• Mounting: Can be grown in baskets or mounted on driftwood or cork. Ensure roots have room to expand freely and receive regular moisture.
