Is there any hope left for my wrinkled, rootless Catt?

Yes, it does smell amazing! It's the plant in my profile photo, here's a bigger version of it. It was an amazing garden center find. The last couple bloomings have been disappointing, but now that the plant is recovering I'm looking forward to many buds.

Nice idea, I'll try to find that post!
The 'problem' with this plant is that it only makes one new lead per season, so never puts on a multi spike show.

Wow, that is spectacular indeed! I'm so glad you were able to save it.

About watering a plant in a basket. I grow my Vanda in a wooden basket. It’s home is a pole, meant for laundry. I water daily. I lower the plant far enough for its roots to reach the water in a bucket below.
After it’s done drinking I elevate the plant a bit to drip dry above the bucket. When drip dry I bring it back to its original location on the pole.
Let me see if I can find a picture from such a pole.

Currently she spends the days outdoors and that’s where I water her too currently. But the method works indoors just fine.

@camille.

This is what I meant with the pole. Mine is slightly different but this one will do the job.
