Saving these vandas?

[Kilmiquix]

I've read several threads here regarding saving vandas, and I've formulated a plan I'd like to run by you all.

I have these two vandas that arrived in my rescue haul months ago. They are clearly in terrible shape, and to be honest, I kind of chalked them up to lost, but I decided to hang them up in a tree to see what I could learn from their death.

They got watered every once in a while (x1 week?), and they got soaked in KelpMax, but really, I just waited for them to die.

Then, one developed what I assume is a keiki, and it occurred to me that maybe, despite my limited knowledge, I could save them!

The Plan:

Put them in small plastic cups with no medium, soak their roots every day for 30 mins, drain the water, repeat, all while keeping the humidity high and the light bright but shady. Fertilize regularly.

Does that seem like a fair plan? Are there other suggestions?

Why not just leave them hanging in the tree, and spray them (water) more often? They appear to like it where they are.

Hm. That's a good question. I guess I thought they needed saving because all of my other vandas are putting off new root growth like crazy, and these roots seem to be struggling.

But, I guess that could be because they are not getting enough water......

Plus likely not in as good a shape, which also can slow root growth.
I’d just water and let them get going again.
