I have a Vanda, a new purchase of almost a month now. The plant seems to be in a basket, and the basket nestled in a large clay pot with sphagnum.
Given that the humidity in the house is a lil low just now, as I run on hot water radiators.... I am thinkin leaving the plant in the pot is a good thing...
BUT.. I am open to hear any suggestions.... thus far it's started putting up new leaves.
