Squirrel damaged the stem

Thank You so much for the info! I will try not to spray the water into the wound. Also I used Physan to desinfect it!
Also the squirrel came back and broke or chewed off the bottom leaves… so know it looks a little unbalanced, what do you think? Maybe when it eill grow little taller it will be more pleasant to eyes

Actually the squirrel didn’t do too badly, I appreciate that clear space. I’d opt for keiki paste or rooting hormone, to get a strong multi growth plant going. Might work out for the better in the long haul. In nature they get beat up far far worse. Can’t imagine plant is bothered much... but it does seem the squirrel WILL indeed be back as your lovely Vanda is a viable food source.

Thank You for the insight! Maybe that bare stem doesn’t look to bad. I was said that keikis on this particular Vanda variety is very unkomon, but she is sending roots on bare stem area as I can see little bumps on the stem so soon that area will be covered with thick roots
