Vanda Hybrid ‘Kouishiro Ikai’ is a premium ornamental orchid hybrid valued for its vigorous vegetative growth and future production of highly fragrant flowers. This medium-sized plant is supplied in a non-flowering stage, allowing acclimatization and optimal establishment before blooming. The plant exhibits a strong monopodial growth habit with a single upright stem and well-developed aerial root system typical of high-quality Vanda hybrids.

Leaves are thick, leathery, and strap-shaped, arranged distichously along the stem, indicating good physiological health and adaptability to high-light environments. As an epiphytic orchid, it absorbs moisture and nutrients primarily through its aerial roots, which are covered with a functional velamen layer that enhances water and mineral uptake.

This hybrid is bred for ornamental excellence, combining robust growth, floral longevity, and aromatic appeal once mature.
