Historical introduction:

Since the second World War, Wandailan has been popular all over the world, as long as there are warmer areas, they can be seen. More than a decade ago, as a result of the introduction of the miniature Thai native species Ask in their pedigree, the plant is relatively small, and the new genus "Qiandai Orchid" with medium-sized flowers like thousands of generations of orchids has become even better. Their flower colors are ever-changing, but the plant is only half the size of the orchids.

Wandai orchids are found in tropical Asia, from the mountains of India through Burma and Thailand to the Malaysian islands, the Philippines and New Guinea. Their ecology is single-stemmed, constantly growing from the top of the stem, growing faster in sunny summer, and because their plants are taller, they are mostly planted outdoors or in direct sunlight.
