Hi,Ben. What do I do with all the roots in the smaller basket? Aren't they all going to break off when I insert the smaller basket into the larger one? I only have one Vanda in a basket-I got it at home depot Winter before lastand put it in a basket and nursed it. The only other Vandas I have are all from 1 Renthara that I bought at Kanaphaw Gardens in Gainsville back in 2015.I now have 3 in pots (the original died 2 years ago) and this Spring I topped those three and now have 4 more that are each about 3' tall plus roots so I decided to velcro them to 6' stakes-they are doing fine outside for the Summer. They are growing new roots, and I saw a couple of kekies. This is the first time I have had a kekie on any of my orchids.They don't have roots, so I figured I would just leave them where they are. The stakes make the Vandas very portable, so I guess I could just put them in the shower when I move them back in the house for the Winter. When I bought the original Renthara it was just tied to a wire hanger and had one tiny root. The vendor (and she had beautiful orchids) told me to either pot it in potting soil,or plant it in the ground and give it full sun and lots and lots of water. I couldn't plant it in the ground because we get Winter freezes. I usually bring all my orchids inside for Winter. I have a chart I made up of which orchids come in at which temps.I was a little late with the Rentharas and they started dropping leaves after a few nights that went down to between 50 and 55°,but they grew a couple of feet over Winter.
