I am caring for a bunch of the Vandas from the MBG, because they don't have enough staff to devote to the daily care and fertilization that Vandas need during the summer.

So here is the before picture of the Vanda Hospital. It took over an hour to hydrate the roots to green.

Here is after I cleaned, trimmed, and re-hooked them.

And here is a lovely bloom of Papilionanda Patricia Low that decided to reward me by opening today after I fertilized with seaweed and Epsom salts.
