I'm no Vanda expert as I only have one. I don't know how dried out yours is. When I got mine in Feb. it was pretty dessicated with quite dry roots and the leaves were green but very dull and leathery. I was concerned for it. I began by giving it's roots a dunk in a 2 gallon pail of water with some seaweed extract and a bit of fertilizer. I did this every morning for a few weeks and left it soak on average about 20 mins. In the day I misted it now and then too. After it started looking a bit perked up, I put the plant in a large plastic basket pot and supported it so it stands upright. Now it is growing a ton of roots and I only soak it every few days and mist it daily. It has also grown 2 leaves and has a 3rd one started.

Hope that helps.
