I have this same plant and have been having trouble with it for some reason. How do you care for it? For some reason i have not been able to rebloom it since I got it about two years ago. It only makes keikis and just recently lost about 4 or 5 leaves so I am quite concerned. I have been using fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content with superthrive lately. I also treated with Physan 20 a month ago when I had a few fungus issues. Any advice as to how you keep yours so nice would be great. I don't get it since all my other vandas are pretty happy.

Hi, JennS. Since the last bloom, the plant itself has not done anything. It sounds similar to yours.
I bought more Vandas during the vacation, I can pay attention to new 'chids. I noticed you live in Orlando, have you visited Smiley in Clermont?

Wow, glad this came back around. I have a vanda with a tessellata for a parent in this color or similar. Fantastic color. Awesome.
Still would like to know what's the update on yours Jenn and Naoki

My plant hasn't done much at all. We had a couple nights under 55 degrees before I got them into the garage at night with a space heater. I am not sure if that caused it or the application of physan 20 but it started dropping leaves. It probably lost six or so. It has one keiki starting about halfway up and then two at its base. They seem healthy and I removed one from it earlier this year which is living happily at my moms house. It has finally put out some impressive roots this year.
And yes, I have visited Smiley, that's where I got the plant. I have a few from her and have had trouble booming a couple of them whereas my denisoniana has flowered faithfully about three times a year which is also from her. My conditions arent that different than hers so I don't get it.

I just replaced a light bulb for my HID light fixture. Will see what will happen soon.
