Ascocenda Sunshine “Pink Lip”

Botanical name: Ascocenda (now classified under Vanda) ‘Sunshine’ — Pink Lip form
Type: Compact Vanda-type hybrid; epiphytic

Why you’ll love it
Turn heads with a blast of colour: sunset-gold petals framed by a bold hot-pink lip. Spikes carry many neat, rounded flowers that photograph beautifully and look incredible in hanging baskets. With its smaller, tidy growth compared to many Vandas, this hybrid is a great choice for balconies, windows, and orchid racks—especially if you want maximum colour in minimal space.

Highlights

• Striking gold + pink contrast that pops on camera and display shelves

• Compact Vanda-type growth; ideal for baskets and bright, airy spots

• Many flowers per spike for a lush, premium look

• Easy, forgiving routine—great for collectors and first-time Vanda growers

Care at a Glance (India-friendly)

• Light: Bright, filtered light (sheer curtain/bright shade). Ensure steady airflow.

• Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow roots/media to reach “almost dry” before the next cycle. Avoid standing water.

• Humidity & Airflow: Prefers moderate humidity with continuous air movement to keep foliage pristine.

• Potting / Mounting:

  • Best in hanging baskets with coarse orchid media (large bark/charcoal/coco chips).

  • Can be grown bare-root in baskets where ambient humidity is good; mist roots between waterings.

• Feeding: Half-strength orchid fertilizer during active growth (“weakly, weekly”); flush with plain water periodically.
