That's a neat looking Vanda Marilyn. What king is that? Kinda loosk like it could be some exotic variety... appears to have soft smallish leaves?
I thought I'd document my successes with the Glass Vase Method because I have elsewhere spouted off at it's benefit. My apologies if this is a repost (it is)
Basically for the last 3-4 months? I've been soaking in RO and 1 tsp of Ray's MSU formula (which is just a 13-3-15 NPK + Trace + calcium/magnesium fertilizer) and all of the roots you see sticking out of the pots are new, some are 12" long or more, and that Princess Mikasa in bloom has bloomed twice in the last 3 months. Far below the pics are of a Vanda Bensonii which has made a miraculous recovery as you can see before and after pics.

Here is the Vanda Bensonii which I've been soaking for half an hour each day, for about 3 months. The pictures above of it are from 4/26/08 and the ones below are from 4/8/08. So it does take a long time sometimes if there is no good root system, but you shouldn't see a major decline if things are going in the right direction. They should at least be staying the same or getting a tad better. By utilizing the glass vase method, you can see in the pictures above, it is working very well. It took 2 months for it to even sprout new roots! which are below, and now it is growing at an ever increasing pace. Look below the first leaves in the latest pictures (yesterday) there are two very plump new roots starting, and in the bottom of the plastic container you can see the first root that sprouted. This should be a very clear indicator of the ability of this method to produce results and save an otherwise very maltreated plant.
I don't want to imply there aren't better methods, but this method works very well for me.
