Recovering a Double-damaged (Root &amp; Crown) Vanda?
Unhappy Recovering a Double-damaged (Root & Crown) Vanda?

So I recently got a discounted rescue NOID vanda with a single root, and I cleaned it up and put it in a clay pot outside in the shade.



Unfortunately despite the hot weather and wind, the plant developed some localized fungal issues after a series of rainstorms over these last weeks, and I examined it to removed the rotting lower stem and to apply fungicide to the afffected spots.

I then noticed that the newest leaf had died and had a black spot, so I took my snips, cut through the leaf, pulled gently, and...pop!

Out came the leaf, and along with it, a white core which I presume is the growing point.



I am still quite sour about this since I've unnecessarily set this plant back even further, and complicated its recovery.



Is there any path to recovery? I know that vandas can grow keikis/offshoots, but they tend to do so on established plants with extensive root systems.

At this point, how would the plant react to this event?

What should my next steps be? I'm torn about either placing this plant back outdoors, or keeping it indoors.
