Pruning blue vanda — FAQ
When should I prune blue vanda?
After flowering ends; dead leaves removed any time. Cut spent flower spikes at the base with sterilised scissors. Remove dead basal leaves by pulling or cutting flush with the main stem. Never cut the apical growing tip.
How often does blue vanda need pruning?
As needed — once per bloom cycle for spikes, opportunistically for dead leaves. Blue Vanda rarely needs pruning. Remove spent flower spikes at the base after blooms fall. Dead or damaged lower leaves can be cleanly removed where they join the stem. Do not cut the main monopodial stem — Vanda grows from a single upward shoot and does not regenerate from a cut stem.
