Vanchoanthe Michelle Lim ‘Toh Garden’ HCC/OSSEA

Vanchoanthe Michelle Lim ‘Toh Garden’ HCC/OSSEA (Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim × Vanchoanthe Alexander Choo Weiwen). This hybrid was made by David Lim, former Manager of the National Orchid Garden Nursery, who made the cross during the last years of his tenure as Operations Manager, Singapore Orchids Pte Ltd at Mandai Gardens (1996-2008). This hybrid bears close resemblance to its ancestor Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim, but has the novel added attraction of violet blue floral pigmentation, considered rare and highly desirable in the world of flowers. Named for the originator’s granddaughter.

The Vanchoanthe Michelle Lim ‘Toh is a live Vanda orchid plant with rich red to magenta flowers, purple to violet-blue blooms and upright tropical stems. This orchid is listed in the Vanda Alliance collection, a group admired for vivid colours, upright tropical growth, strong roots, and long-lasting blooms. It is suitable for orchid lovers, bright patios, sheltered balconies, home collections, and tropical plant gifts.

Vanda Alliance orchids are appreciated for bold flower displays and warm-climate strength. Many types enjoy bright filtered light, steady airflow, and airy growing media around the roots. With simple watering and careful placement, this orchid can bring a polished tropical accent to indoor or sheltered outdoor spaces.

The plant is supplied as a live orchid in a growing pot. Bloom count, spike height, root growth, and flower opening may vary naturally because each orchid plant grows at its own pace. This keeps each orchid slightly different while preserving the same fresh nursery-grown quality. If the plant arrives without open flowers, continue the same care routine until the next growth cycle and flower spike develops.

Orchid Care

Grow your Vanda Alliance orchid in bright filtered light or bright semi-shade with good airflow. Water the roots thoroughly after they begin to dry, then let excess water drain away. Avoid leaving roots in standing water, and protect the plant from harsh afternoon sun or strong air-conditioner airflow.

• Fertilizer: Feed lightly during active growth with EzGro NPK Foliar Blue Fertilizer 63. For flowering support, use EzGro NPK Foliar Pink Fertilizer 67.
• Growing Media: Repot when needed with airy orchid growing media, such as coarse charcoal or other fast-draining orchid potting medium.
