Vanda root damage - will plant survive?

[Raimisx9]

Hello all! Hope all of you are doing great!
So I purchased this new Vanda Jeff Leatham and sadly when seller put her in the plastic wrap he broke a lot of roots!
Maybe someone can advice what should I do and will the plant survive?

Thank You all for your insights and help! It is very much appreciated!

Vanda roots are relatively fragile and subject to damage when being moved around.

Fortunately, your plant looks to have a super healthy looking root mass there so I don't think you'll have any issues. Water it liberally at least once a day (feed weekly) and in no time it will start to develop new root tips off of the ones that got damaged.

Nice looking plant.

Thank You KeysGuy! I will water her well and maybe use some seaweed extract to help her grow new roots!

So KeysGuy you think the plant will make new roots and survive?

In looking at the pics your plant already has a large mass of healthy root, congrats! I don't see any damaged roots.

Oh Thank You Clawhammer! It really hard to see in the pics but some root tips are broken off, but gladly it has about 30 green root tips in braches from main roots

Just one more question - I can see these root eyes on the stem, will it produce new roots?

[Keysguy]

Not sure what you see but vandas will produce new roots up the stem as the plant ages (matures).

That is a healthy plant that has been minorly inconvenienced. A plant in danger of dying from root damage would be one with no roots left, and this is nowhere near that.
Those do appear to be new roots growing along the stem, yes.

Hello all! Thank You for your help! But know the plant experienced yet another set back… My parent’s small puppy chewed on my Vanda roots… she was hanging low and this monster took the chance…
Will the plant still survive? Or I should cut the flowers stem?
