Vanda worships the sun. Make sure you give her as much as possible, even if it means on the windowsill - she'll be fine if hit by a bit of wind.
Vanda really doesn't like her soil too moist, so make sure that the soil she's planted in drains well.
Once her flowers begin to fade, cut her back to about 10-20cm above the soil.

Vanda is truly a magical plant: this purple beauty has been used for centuries as a medicinal herb, treating everything from anxiety to insomnia, depression, headaches, hair loss, nausea, and much more. Her first-ever recorded use comes from ancient Egypt, where she was made into oils that were important to the mummification process. Fast forward to ancient Rome, where she was used in bathing rituals because of her antiseptic properties - in fact, her botanical name comes from the Latin 'lavare', which literally means 'to wash'.
Vanda makes a great addition to the garden for her lovely smell and cheery look. She blooms in midsummer and tends to stay in flower for 3-4 weeks; after her buds open, trim off a bunch of her stalks and use them in essential oils for some aromatherapy action, or in tea as a sleep aid.
