Vanda Roots and Leave
Hi all. I’m a newer Vanda owner and have a concern with my roots and leaves.
Some context: I have two other vandas that I keep inside. They’re very healthy with newly forming roots and healthy leaves.
I recently (about 3 weeks) got the vanda pictured. It’s far too large to stay inside and since I live in South Florida I assumed based on everything I read that it would be quite happy with the sun and humidity outdoors.
Just in the past couple of days, the lower leaves started yellowing and drooping as pictured. A couple are splitting away as well. Now today, some of my roots that showed new growth, the tips have gone from green to brown.
I soak it daily in the morning and allow it to hang. It gets 1/4 strength fertilizer weekly. I’ve sprayed it with Neem twice to combat outdoor pests.
Hoping someone can tell me if this is normal or something to be concerned with. I want to get ahead of it if I need to course correct. Thanks!
