Dying terete. Please help
Hi all. I'm relatively new to Vandas. I bought a few vanda-type orchids last Fall and most of them are doing ok. Two have bloomed. I have one that I think is a semi-terete that is not doing so well and I'd like some suggestions. Firstly, I'm not sure if I was sent the correct orchid. With one order, I bought: Vanda Roberts Delight Red Fuchsia, Orchid Vanda Kapoho Fire, and Ascda Suksamran Gold Spots Dhong Pusavat. Since the humidity is not very high here and I can't water every day, I unpotted some and put all of them in glass vases for semi water culture. So... I lost track of which tags go with which plant. The other two I got with this one are strap-type vandas. A while back, I went online to search their names for pictures and I don't think any of them are supposed to have thin leaves like this one. Am I right? I wintered these guys under a grow light and while the others did well, this one was slowly drying out. My orchids have since been out on the patio under shade cloth in 80-95F daytime weather on large humidity trays. All the others are doing great with new growth and new roots. This guy continues to dry out though. About 2 days ago, I put it back in this basket with loose bark and clay balls to see if it might do better. Any suggestions on how I might save it? Thanks.
