Drought tolerant Vandas for Mediterranean conditions?

[MateoinLosAngeles]

Hey everyone,

I would've posted this in the Vanda sub, but there are three!

Let me preface my question with: I know, I know, I know. They don't like to dry out, they don't like to be potted, they don't like wet media for long, they don't like to be soaked in a bucket once a week as their only watering...

But if you would entertain my question...

Is there any Vanda that could sustain Mediterranean conditions without being watered daily?

The genus is a bit overwhelming to me, especially since some plants that I didn't think were Vandaceous are now classified within Vanda, like Neofinetia falcata or Ascocenda. So in this vastness, I wonder if any of the "classic" big vandas with feet-long roots could work in the "soak once a week in a bucket" setup whilst mainly staying dry the rest of the week. Or if anyone has found a workaround. I grow in an apartment with either LEDs or windowsill with NW exposure and humidity fluctuating between 40-60% year-round. I do have several plants that were "impossible" to grow indoors, doing just fine or even thriving... Finding workarounds and tricks to give them just enough to keep them afloat. The same goes for "easy" plants that were supposed to thrive in windowsills and neglect and that I managed to kill... I acknowledge that each plant is different and an individual, and sometimes you manage to kill one while its clone is your most vigorous plant, and you just need to live with that.
