Since the plant has traits of vanda coerulea, the plant can grow in cool to intermediate conditions. Hang the plant in a area with a lots of air movement. Avoid keeping plant in a pot and let the roots hang in a basket with coarse fir bark. If potted use tree fern or osmunda fibers. Spray roots every day. Keep in full sun
