It sounds like you have a good set up. I know what you mean about the problem with vase size. Eventually they out grow the vase. I had a vanda in a basket for years but recently had to cut in off near the base because it was hanging sideways out of it's basket quite far. It was very awkward to water. Now the top half is in vase culture for now.
