Sorry if I am being repeative. My Vandas (3) Two seedings almost a yr old, still green with 3 or 4 leaves each, but have grown very little since they arrived. The New Vanda, with ok roots. and 6 to10 leaves, looks ok also, but the problem I am having is getting my head around ideal care in dry arid NM.
Here is what I am doing. all three going into pH adjusted well water twice daily, 20 20 20 once a week, 1/4 tsp per gallon. after the root soaks for an hr or so, I place them in good light, in an empty vase, roots hanging. Is winter sunlight OK? or should I be careful and use a grow light instead.
Heat requirement...should I use a heat mat if my ambient temp on kitchen counter is about 65 at night and perhaps 70 in the daylight?
re spraying... how necessary is it for the leaves? daily? or more often.
Do Vandas have a crown? like other orchids?
After spraying with a fine mist, how important is it to dry the leaves after. do they get crown root?
How do I evaluate the health of the older vanda? is that size a wait of 2 to 3 years for a stem and blooms?
they are not phals, oncs or zygopediums !!!!!!!!!

How important is it for me to add a fan near my vandas? would an overhead fan be enought or one closer to the plants?
