Vanda Bigness x Korb Fah

Care Guide: Vanda Bigness × Korb Fah

This striking Vanda hybrid combines the commanding flower size of ‘Bigness’ with the colorful charm of ‘Korb Fah,’ resulting in a dazzling display of tropical elegance. While visually dramatic, it’s surprisingly straightforward to care for—especially in warm, humid climates.

☀️ Light

Provide very bright, indirect light—ideally 60–80% filtered sun. Outdoors in South Florida, morning sun and dappled afternoon shade work beautifully. Indoors, place near a south or east-facing window with supplemental grow lights if needed.

💦 Watering

Vandas love frequent watering but excellent drainage is essential. Mist or soak the exposed roots daily in warm months. In baskets or bare-root setups, fully drench roots 4–5 times per week, allowing them to dry slightly between waterings. In cooler months, reduce frequency.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

Ideal temperatures range from 65–90°F. This hybrid thrives in warm, humid conditions. Maintain 50–70% humidity with good airflow to prevent fungal issues. Avoid placing it in cold drafts or letting roots stay wet overnight in cool temps.

🌱 Mounting & Potting

Best grown bare-root in slatted baskets or wooden mounts where roots can sprawl freely. Avoid traditional potting media, which retains too much moisture. Ensure roots get both hydration and air daily.

🌸 Feeding

Fertilize lightly but consistently. Use a balanced orchid fertilizer (20-20-20) weekly during the active growing season. Switch to a bloom booster formula when buds appear. Flush roots with clean water monthly to prevent salt buildup.

📅 Blooming Cycle

Vanda Bigness × Korb Fah can bloom several times a year with proper care. Each flower spike can produce large, long-lasting blossoms that hold their color beautifully. A warm, consistent routine encourages regular blooming.
