關於小瓶蘭

Vanda ampullacea (Ascocentrum ampullaceum) is a compact, single-stem orchid from the Himalayan region, known for its dense clusters of small blooms on spikes shorter than its leaves — a rewarding pick for growers with some orchid experience.

開始照料小瓶蘭前需要了解的7件事

1. 1Bright Light

   Vanda ampullacea needs bright light. Shield it only from strong midsummer sun, and keep it in a well-lit spot the rest of the time for the best flowering.

2. 2Frequent Watering

   As a single-stem orchid, it doesn't tolerate drying out well, and growth slows if it goes too long between waterings. Check the growing medium regularly and water often, supplementing with misting to keep humidity around the plant up.

3. 3Well-Drained Media

   The roots dislike staying constantly wet, so a breathable basket mount or a piece of tree fern fiber suits it better than being packed tightly in sphagnum moss. Make sure water never sits and pools around the roots.

4. 4Repot When Roots Emerge

   Repotting goes easiest on the plant when done just as new roots begin to emerge. Gently remove the old growing medium and work quickly to minimize stress on the roots.

5. 5A Slightly Cool Winter Rest

   It is said to adapt to a wide range of temperatures, but in winter it benefits from a slightly cooler rest with watering kept a little on the dry side. Keep it indoors over winter so it isn't exposed to too much cold.

6. 6Choosing a Healthy Plant

   Since it grows as a single stem, look for a plant with a sturdy, thick stem and firm leaves free of wrinkling or yellowing. Green root tips are another good sign of a healthy, actively growing plant.

7. 7Good Air Circulation

   This orchid's roots like exposure to moving air, so poor ventilation can cause roots and stems to deteriorate. Whether you keep it outdoors or indoors, choose a spot where air doesn't stagnate.
