Strap leaved vanda... :) Very saturated colours on this one.. Should be grown half-shaded and watered much all year. Feed by spraying with foliar fertiliser. I assume ts grown without any media in a small wooden/plastic basket. You can surround it with your tillies or drape a little spanish moss on the roots to keep humidity up and encourage active root growth..These types generally flower once ot twice a year.

Yes you got it right and thanks for your tips. Actually I'm not into Vanda but this one really caught my attention. And talking about orchids, maybe you can help me to ID this....

Phalaenopsis schilleriana. Pink-flowered species from the Philippines. Google for images. Its not easy to flower in the lowlands because it needs a period of cool nights to initiate blooming. The leave alone are worth growng for, even if it does not bloom..

Thanks! but I was told by the seller it produce white flower.
Anyhow, like what you said, it doen't matter if the plant never bloom. It's the leaves that we appreciate most.

Could also be phalaenopsis stuartiana (white like amabilis but with speckle on lateral petals).. I'm not sure what stuartiana plant is supposed to look like, but I think also has mottled leaves. The leaves on yours seem a bit narrow for schilleriana though. Culture for stuartiana and schilleriana are the same..
