Am an orchid Newbie, but aren't Vanda & Ascoscendas (sp?) two different kinds of orchids? I thought & have seen ASCD as Ascoscenda (but yes, really gorgeous & thx for pix)?

Karma, breathtaking photo! Ascocendas are hybrids from the Vanda family and likes the same culture (full sun, alot of water in morning and pot in slatted basket). Asdas are basically miniature version of vandas but more floriferous.

If your mom is also in zone 9, a daily misting in the morning is recommended. (never water orchids at night!) In addition, ascdas/vandas require good air circulation and usually have their roots waving in the air catching the cross winds.

Not bad, orchids are very adaptable and hardier than most people think. Can the windows be open or how about a small fan? As long as its not stagnant air.
