Saving vanda
Hi guys, I’m new to this forum and this is my first post. Please help save my Vanda orchid. I purchased it for my wife about two months ago. It was in full bloom and absolutely gorgeous. It came in a tall glass vase. Needless to say, having no clue about orchid care I probably over watered it and got myself a case of root rot. I’ve read a lot about Vanda care since then, discarded the bad roots and vas left with two good roots. Then Fusarium hit...had no alternative than to cut off portion of the stem just below the most upper good root. Noticed a black spot on this root also and begged it was not infested. Tried everything since then: watered it daily on warm days with rain water, hanged it outside in the shade, weak fertilizer, even spag n bag...sadly no new roots and the “good one” blackened also, then the lover portion of the lower leaf...again fusarium so went up and cut the stem above this last root. The remaining portion of the stem is clean, leaves look ok. Drenched it in peroxide, put it in a perforated vase with the stem hanging and put wet microfiber on the bottom of the vase and covered everything lightly with a loose bag. Anything else I can do for it?
