About stoping blooming forever....I don't think so. In crease the light when growing Vandas.

When I bought this last year, I wasn't happy with how the medium looked so, following suit with the vendor, I changed out their medium with fresh fir bark, charcoal and perlite. I added the sphagnum moss myself hoping to make my Cocheanthes happier. 😊 I just wasn't expecting "air root central"! Thank you for your response. I forget how much genetics dictates the life of the offspring in the orchid world.
The Vandas are now getting much more light! I know that I should be dunking them everyday but some days I don't have the time so I mist them until the roots turn a pretty green. I also had to take off a lot of dead roots recently. I was hoping it would help
