Vanda inflorescence stalk

Vanda Jones ex R. Br.

A morphological trait of orchids of the genus Vanda, representing an axillary organ, the length and number of flowers on which depend on the species and the genetics of the hybrid.

In the reference 31 varieties crop Vanda, where this is mentioned in the description.

The inflorescence stalk in Vanda develops from the leaf axil and can be either erect or pendulous. Its length varies from 30–60 cm up to 2 meters, with 1 to 4 inflorescence stalks potentially forming on a single plant simultaneously. The number of flowers in the inflorescence is also a species-specific trait.

Due to the absence of pseudobulbs, the formation of long and multi-flowered inflorescence stalks requires a high level of light intensity and balanced nutrition. Large inflorescences create a significant physical load on the plant, which often necessitates the use of supports to secure the stalk and prevent stem deformation.
