Rescued a vanda from Rona, now what? Male
Default Rescued a vanda from Rona, now what?

Hello everyone!

So after many years of watching my mom passionately grow orchids in their little east facing condo I decided to get into the hobby myself when I found a very sad looking vanda (no ID) hanging in the greenhouse at Rona. Brought her home and placed it in my aquarium (planted tank setup) to rehydrate it. Over the course of 3 days spending 2-3 hours in the aquarium it rehydrated and was looking rather happy.

Fast forward a few weeks, and my wife and I built an indoor green house in the basement for our many tropical plants. Namely 4 plumeria trees from Maui, lemon tree, Madagascar jasmine along with succulents and other random tropicals that required high light and humidity in the 60's, and I figured the vanda would do well in here as well.

So it's been 2 weeks in the greenhouse and I haven't seen much change other then the new leaves getting a little purple. Grown free root, watered daily 2 in rain water which it kept at 25C which is also the day time greenhouse temp which drops to 17C over night and as I said 60-70% humidity.

So my question is... what am I doing wrong or are they slower growing plants? Or do they haven a dormancy period like many other plants?

Thanks for your help and expertise!
