Vanda crown growing to the side, not straight up

[Lilly B]

A friend had a 20 year old Vanda that had made 3 keiki's. She ignored the plant until the mother was dead and then her husband used a chain saw to detach the keiki's. OUCH! This was this past August. She offered me one and I jumped at it as I wanted a Vanda and had never had one. She said it would not bloom for 2 to 3 years but that's okay with me. The problem is that the crown is not straight. I decided to put her in a Vanda basket and place it where the sun was directly overhead so that it would right itself. I'm not sure that that's working. I was thinking of cutting the lowest leaves and then placing it back in the basket so it sits straight. The problem is that when I went to do this I found 2 spikes in the lowest leaves on the same side. I was so happy to see them. My reward for saving her. She is also giving me a new leaf. So the question is, when the flowering is done, should I cut the lowest leaves and right her or wait for her to right herself, if that's possible.
