One of my Vandas had that, and I threw it away. I would suggest the OP to Google the disease and use YouTube as a resource. There are other YouTubers who had experience with fusarium in Vandas.

If you are going to use vase culture, I would suggest you take out all the media in the basket to avoid any fungal/ bacterial issues. It is also a good idea to carefully remove the basket as well.

Clear plastic pots with live spanish moss works well for me.

It also makes watering very easy as you only water when the roots are all white. Then water until they are completely green.

A really cool, non-Phal orchid is the Oncidium coloratum. It is super small; the bulb and leaf is about the size of a US quarter. The flowers are really interesting looking as well.
