HENRY THE HORSE (1 year later)
I am stunned!
Thank you OB and special members for all the help, support & keeping up my courage for Henry's turnaround.
---------- Post added at 10:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 PM ----------
My bad for ordering a Vanda so deep into a NY winter for a Christmas present for myself Henry was gorgeous in his Louisianna greenhouse before I purchased him and he looked okay when he arrived but slowly had fan like leaves (mostly on one side) turn speckled yellow (like a banana) then brown & drop until one side was depleted completely.
Wasn't sure that he could make it.
After a lot of great advice here and a good deal of dilligence Henry is slowly advancing. Thanks!

Great job! Those buds must be even sweeter to see knowing that you've saved the plant. Nice save, it's not always easy to turn a plant around when it's started going downhill.
Speaking of Christmas presents to oneself, I have a box of orchids on the way which should arrive today or tomorrow. Some more Neofinetia to feed my addiction
