Vanda new growth?
Is it a root, or a spike? They are two new growths on both sides.

vanda spikes that I have seen come from up in the middle of the cane between the leaves..I think you got more root but you got lots of rooots I know and you wanted a spike. Youre getting there I have 1 vanda left and all it does are roots and that in itself make me happy
good luck!!!

It's hard to tell at this stage of development. It could be a spike but they generally don't appear below the base of the leaves, although they can. My guess would be a root or a keiki.

I will post new picture after a week. It seems like keiki, the growth position is up. But two keikies in one time, will be very happy.

That's keiki. Spike usually sent out below 7th or 6th leaf (first leaf should be the newest one) but not always. This is based on my observation to my several vandas.

Vandas put out roots above the base of the plant, which will take water from the air. They produce quite a few of these roots. Be sure to keep these roots misted.
The flower spikes will come at the centre of the plant, between the leaves. If you give the plant lots of light, feeding and water, the spike should eventually come. What kind of vanda is it?
