Vanda roots dying

Just to be clear, while the root growth does slow down it doesnt come to a full stop. You will just see no major root tip growth. What the thread starter has described is root die back which to me suggests conditions.

These are all quarter or semi-terete vandas and to me it seems that you are not watering sufficiently. They need a thorough soaking once or even twice a day in the heat. Your root system is very small.
