Vanda orchid roots dry and cracked

[kteo]

Hi everyone,

I bought this vanda orchid about 2 months back and this is the first time I've bought an orchid. I live in Singapore (hot and humid), the orchid sits on my patio, so no direct sunlight but it's bright. I was told to mist the orchid twice a day, which I've been doing.

I distinctly remember the orchid's roots looking much healthier and greener when I bought it but as you can see, they appear really dry and cracked now. I've even been soaking the roots periodically in a small fish pond that I have. Since owning this orchid, it does not look like new roots are appearing, but the flowers you see in the photos are the second bloom.

To the experts on this forum, could you please give me your assessment of how this orchid looks and if the prognosis is poor, please advice on what I can do to make it healthier and happier? Thanks!
