Vanda questions

[Paul Mc]

As a noob to Vanda's, I'm sure my two or alright, but I wanted to get everyone elses thoughts.

My Pachara Delight came with a lot of dead looking roots in a plastic basket. I did not cut the roots and I have been watering 1 to 3 times daily depending upon how hot it has been. Fertilizing by dunking in sink once a week. I'm seeing one of the bottom leaves starting to mottle with yellow and a few of the upper leaves are turning away from the light source and folding up a bit. Your thoughts?

My coereulla (sp?) came in coconut husk fiber in a plastic pot. It's roots were not very good at all, as in very minimal root system. So, I transferred it to a wooden basket and kept it in the coconut husk fiber. Same watering and fertilizing regimen. Two of the lower leafs have dried leaf tips, but there has been tremendous root growth in comparison to what it had. Your thoughts on this one again?

I should add that the coeruella does not appear to have ever bloomed before, but the Pachara has the dead stumps of previous blooms. Neither appear to be in spike at the moment.
