Sorry, by 'the pale green band at the base of the leaves' I'm not quite sure which bit you mean! I'm sure it's just me, since other people all seem to understand you, but do you think you could post a picture showing what you mean? Possibly it could just be that my vanda is so underfertilised this band isn't there at all, but...

Mine aren't fertilized enough, either! I'm steadily increasing the dose. The very base of the leaf where it is emerging should be paler green than the rest of the leaf. Maybe yours doesn't have any of the pale green.

Do you happen to have a photo of this pale band now? I cannot find this information anywhere else, and don't see the pale band on my vandas! |

Last night I looked at it. The previous sprout is clearly a new growth. But - now it's making what really does seem to be a spike. I'll take a photo when I'm home during daylight hours.

Please keep in mind that the concentration of fertilizer used is closely connected to the frequency of feeding.
I fed my vandas 25 PPM N daily or every other day in the summer, and a couple of times a week in the winter, and they all grew and bloomed tremendously. If I only fed once a week, I'd probably go with 100 to 125 PPM N.
I guess another question that comes to mind about Motes' feeding regimen is whether they water their plants before feeding. 1600 PPM seems "poisonous" to me if used on dry roots.

When I bought my TDS meter I discovered I had been watering and fertilizing my Ascocenda every single day with +500 TDS (since I moved here. Which means in my home city I would have been fertilizing around 800 TDS I guess) and I was like crapfrick but then again the plant is okay and produced tons of roots and also overcame Fusarium and produced flowers? What the actual frick is this plant?
Amazing.
