Notes

Waling-waling (Vanda sanderiana) is a houseplant for containers. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 12 and warmer, down to about 50°F (10°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average moisture. The flowers are fragrant, and the plant stays evergreen. It blooms in summer, autumn, and winter, so you can enjoy color through much of the year.

Pairs well with Cockleshell orchid, Tiger Fern Boston fern, and Wax plant.
