when I receive a new Vanda, I water it soaking wet then put it in the new location and wait until it gets acquainted to its environment and then slowly give it the culture and water regimen....
just to be sure: can you spray it with hydrogen peroxide....just to rule out fungi and scales?

Im almost sure its not scales or fungi. On day one of receiving them I sprayed with a fungi/bactericide & insecticide....and i spray my orchids once a month. My guess from the wrinkling and leaf drop and roots dying off is that it could be stress from my aunt recently potting them before giving me them. All but two of the 6 orchids had spikes when i received them and they bloomed, but some suffers alot of bud blasting and blooms looked droopy. All but one of the six have made a turnaround and sent out new roots. 3 of the 6 though, still have wrinkly leaves and they are more yellowish green than a light healthy looking green.
What could be my solution?
Maybe i need to take it out of the sun for now until it has rooted and sent up some leaves. Idk.
