Description
Meet the captivating Vanda Corneels Cilliers, a highly prized collector's orchid derived from the distinguished cross of Vanda Mimi Palmer × Vanda Doctor Anek. Celebrated for its near-black coloration, intricate tessellated patterns, and powerful perfume, this variety makes a dramatic, elegant addition to any indoor or greenhouse collection.
🌸 Flower Specialties
-
Near-Black Coloration: Displays exceptionally deep maroon to dark purple petals that appear almost entirely black under certain lighting.
-
Vibrant Tessellation: Features a delicate checkered or tessellated pattern subtly overlaying the dark, rich pigments.
-
Contrasting Lip: The deep petals contrast sharply against a lighter, pale lavender or white center and lip.
-
Intense Fragrance: Inherited from its parent (Vanda Mimi Palmer), it emits a powerful, sweet, and slightly musky perfume that easily fills a room.
-
Long-Lasting, Frequent Blooms: Waxy, thick petals keep individual flowers fresh for several weeks, with mature plants blooming 2 to 3 times per year.
🌿 Comprehensive Care Guide
-
Parentage Legacy: Combines the intense fragrance of Vanda Mimi Palmer with the rich colors and tessellation of Vanda Doctor Anek.
-
Light & Placement: Requires very bright, filtered sunlight (such as an east- or south-facing window behind a sheer curtain). Aim for as much light as possible without scorching the foliage.
-
Watering: Follow a bare-root wet-dry cycle—soak exposed roots heavily until they turn from silvery-white to bright green, then allow them to dry out completely before the next watering.
-
Temperature & Airflow: Thrives in warm temperatures between 20°C and 32°C. Keep protected from cold drafts below 13°C, which can halt growth.
