In the space labellumnya be split 3 (trilobed), with the end midlobe the wide and wavy edge in the bright yellow base and a brownish tinge towards the end. Vanda has a close kinship with devoogtii Vanda, Vanda merrillii, sumatrana and Vanda Vanda hindsii. Unfortunately, this orchid flower did not last long, beautiful flowers survive only about 7-10 days. Metusalae Vanda orchids, including the level of difficulty of cultivation has a high when compared with other relatives Vanda, vegetative growth is very slow, adaptation ability is low so that new plants are very easy to stress, the growth environment that require very specific humidity, temperature, Aeration, and the intensity light that is really appropriate. If the growth environment is only slightly changed, do not grow, this plant will be stagnant and even many among the dead drought (because there is no optimal root growth) and even many of which have decayed roots because that is too humid conditions. These plants probably are not recommended for beginners.
The urgent priority is to be done is to increase, especially through the culture and seed culture network that is not the species to disappear from their habitat, such as some relatives Vanda species from Indonesia.

Even the symbol of Singapore's orchid is Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim is a descendant of the results from the cross between Papilionanthe hookeriana with Papilionanthe teres. Hookeriana name given as a tribute to Sir William Jackson Hooker, a botanical gurubesar the 18th century that once served as director of the City Kew, England.

Including orchids, swamp because generally grow in wetlands. When seen from the figure its plants, orchids are very similar to the close relatives Papilionanthe teres, so that often people can not distinguish the two types of orchids, if only to see it from the trees only. In the original habitat of this plant can reach high 2.5 m. Stem-round astigmatism, beruas closed and thin. Diamater stem between 0,5-1,2 cm. Astigmatism also shaped leaves with the taper end and upright position. The surface of the stem and leaves of fine green. Radical appear throughout the book on the stem. This is the nature of this orchid makes it easy to slip techniques developed through stem. Because of the stem and leaves that resemble pinsil astigmatism, orchids is also often referred to as the orchid pinsil. However, when viewed from the side of his botanical orchid is a form of adaptation to light intensity that the sun is high, because of the stem and leaves of astigmatism and upright position leaves the field will reduce the evaporation (transpiration) over the water. Therefore, this plant is very low in the Adaptive from 0-700 m above sea level as well as the plants resistant display outdor direct sunlight, with a record-roots media humid enough. Interest rates, including large size, 5-6 cm in berdiameter. Interest is arranged in bunches of 15-25 cm in length and the leaves appear from the armpit. Each cluster can possess a 2-15 budding girl at a time with blossom pattern that is not simultaneous. From the observation is made, every flower bud blooms have a period between 20-22 days. Flowers of mauve-colored base to purple leucorrhoea. Orchids are often referred to as swamp orchid has a wide distribution in the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Kalimantan, to Bangka.
Given that interest rates are beautiful, large, durable and are able to flower throughout the year, the orchid has the potential to be a parent.

Before planting, basic first pot filled brickbat or frayed at the third part. Denomination brick or precarious work to keep the humidity to remain high. As well as the ballast that pot is not easy to topple. Furthermore, the pot is filled with the media to grow coconut fiber, charcoal, fern, or the like. Cutting planted right in the middle. Planting in pots are generally made on a monopodial orchids such as Vanda epiphyte leaf width (Vanda leaves).

b. In embankments
Planting along the lines given brick or worn so that the media do not grow out of the embankments. Because of the nature of growth monopodial orchids tend to grow up without the necessary buffer made from wood, bamboo, iron, or the like. Growing media used in the general form of wood shavings, coconut fiber, or the like. In the upper part of the growing media sometimes added manure or compost that is sterile. After it is mixed with NPK fertilizers 0,1-0,2%. Sprinkling can be done a day after planting. Do in the morning at 06.00-07.00 and afternoon 17:00 - 18.00.

a. Light, including Phalaenopsis orchids are not quite hold by direct sunlight, morning sun-afternoon shadows that harmed by the foliage, including the most good for vegetative growth and trigger flowering. Phalaenopsis are generally protected by paranet 65% if the planting area and open paranet 55% if the planting area is surrounded by walls or large trees.
b. Humidity: Phalaenopsis like the humidity, ideally between 60% -75%, is too moist will cause the mushroom prolific, too dry will cause plant dehydration. To keep the humidity can be placed on the plant gentong water under the pot containing the plant Phalaenopsis.
c. Aeration: Phalaenopsis orchids, including epiphyte, which are usually attached to the parent tree is high, and the flow of wind that breezy, Aeration want to maintain the rate of humidity is not too saturated.
d. Temperature: usually lock the trigger flowering phalaenopsis is the difference if the highest temperature - lowest around 10 º, the ideal temperature for the butterfly this is the 18 º-28 º.

Rare orchids, my Orchid Unfortunately, my Orchid Leicester

Orchids, which currently sit as a champion his interest the most diverse manjadi assets for the Indonesian nation. Orchid species is a wealth of extraordinary potential. As wealth, the consequences of giving specific for the owner, in this case the entire nation, especially the orchid fans who know more about orchids than ordinary people who are still public.

The nation has a wealth of invaluable have many options, whether we will become a nation that gave it an important property for free to anyone! Even property that is not the same once we take advantage? Of the very losers. Do not until we become a nation that is rich in wealth, but in fact confusion by the property. Therefore, in optimizing the treasures of this country's orchids, there are some important points, among others:

1. Recognizing the orchid as a valuable property
this is a very fundamental because it related to our understanding of the potential importance of the orchids, for instance, as ornamental plants, cut flowers, drugs, parfume, a collection of rare, handicrafts, etc.. How can we make use of something I did not realize that something was valuable and valued? That is the same as mice that die of hunger in the granary, the mice did not realize that in the surrounding rice is food. Therefore, knowledge of the introduction and utilization of orchids absolute continue to be developed. Concrete steps: reading literature about the type of orchid-type, the potential of the orchid (color, shape the plant, long blooms, aroma, savor drugs, etc.), or sharing in the mailing list or forum orchids to obtain basic knowledge or information about the orchid species Indonesia , To support and assist research on the success of Indonesian orchids.

2. Maintaining orchids as a valuable property,
the next stage after we recognize the value of orchids is important to efforts to protect it not so, or even lost. Not to keep out or lost in this is not the only means in terms of security outside factors such as the "theft". But also the amount of security or in other words, efforts to keep the amount of property that we do not easily exhausted or lost. Can only, although orchids are truly safe from theft in the foreign country, but precisely because it is too exhausted over exploited by the owner regardless of protecting the future. So, as a nation that smart land and the water, we must be resolute to keep rare species of orchids from this court only other nations that want their own easy way to do smth. We scramble preserve, to maintain sustainable in nature and in the oak-situ but with other nations take the easy way to do smth rare orchids, and we develop a hybrid superior to enrich their countries. Stop illegal trade of rare orchids to other countries. Of the promised benefits not just with the potential to the front of the orchids. Once we sell rare orchids abroad illegally, then we have the same inheritance we give, so they have developed a massacre, then drop the successes and appeal of our special orchid. Therefore, select the best variants of each type of orchid and made to increase parent, but never sell out the country parent selection. Show that we are hobiis that Indonesia's high alias learner nationalism. The fact: Stop selling the country out of rare orchids (especially a protected), which has not been examined and developed by the nation's optimal, data collection orchid collection, maintain the orchids that have been owned by the well, refused orchids draw a direct or are not maintained, pollination interest to obtain the fruit, reproduce rare orchids manually or through the seeds of culture and the network, relocation to the habitat of rare orchids, orchid minimize the exploitation of their habitat in excess, not anti orchid species with the results of network culture, maintain the sustainable habitat for orchids and many others. Although it appears very strict, but rare orchids, or a protected still be allowed out of the country for research purposes or other special interests and must be fixed through the appropriate legal rules. It sounds idealistic I once .... But wait ... I read the next point.

3. Utilize the property as orchids,

certainly very very free once we are aware that we have a valuable property, and we also have to protect it well, but we can not use it at all ... the redundant name. Like we know there are many vegetables grown in the page that can be cooked into delicious dishes, and every day we flush, and be in the manure, but vegetables that have been left only adults only, are worse we can only see the vegetables was an old-rot with a gaze empty while nibble finger and said in the liver. We avoid a nation that can only phobia, or fear the excess, so that forever we can only squeeze so closely property is not stolen by people, but never had the opportunity to use the property. Efforts to use its potential, especially orchids, rare orchids, is not less important. This nation will only be stagnant if not forever can utilize the potential of natural resources is optimal. Step rielnya among others, sells a broad increase the cultivation of orchids results, to develop the business cut orchid flowers, orchids, to promote the results of network culture abroad, conduct hybridization to produce anggrek superior hybrids, the right to protection against the variety of orchid species, or the results of the recovery, unpack for orchids obtain compound drugs or other important compound, cultivating orchids yards with a winsome flower, or make orchids as interest reception for the tourist foreign tourists, or even change the Sukhoi jet bag with 20,000 orchid hybrids. Even the most rare orchid that there is only a half, even though the earth be sold freely when research has been done optimally, perbanyak bulk and obtain a permit / legalization of the authorities.
