I am curious how you cut and propagate them?


I have accidentally done it on one of my vandas. I didn't want to toss it because I was so upset that I broke it and so I water rooted it. It took a long time but it developed roots.

However the other way to do it is if it gets too long, you can remove the leaves just below where you want to propagate it. Maybe 6 inches cutting and so long as there are at least 6 sets of Leaves from the bottom.

The "bald spots" where the leaves used to be will develop roots but you will have to be patient because it will take a long time for the roots to come out. Then once the roots are out you can cut it and the bottom will also developed 2 or 3 shoots.
Tomorrow I will take a photo of one that I cut and had developed roots. It is actually the fastest way of propagating Vandas for me.
