What a change! Almost looks like a different one.
How do you keep the plant so nice and healthy? I have 1 Vanda (coerulea cross) and the roots are suspended in a large plastic basket. I either soak it or pour water on it every day and sometimes water it twice a day. The leaves are always so leathery and I don't get so many roots like yours. There is a wee bit of moss and bark in there just to hold a bit of moisture.

very nice!! mine is not in tip top shape right now.. the roots seem to grow very slow even though I give it kelpmax every other week. I see that it wants to bloom cause It had two spikes that aborted cause it doesn't have the energy to go through.

Thank You !!!!
Don't be discouraged.
If your spikes blasted it means you need to water and feed it in the warmer months with good airflow and humidity+ bright light and warmth. Let it taste the outdoors in the summer; and don't let it get to feel the cold and damp in winter. They can withstand below 40F in situ but since your plant grew in a lab environment=give it all the benefits of its birth environment.

Thank You !
if you see it indoors the flowers look very light lavender....but in the sunlight the pale blue hue is more evident especially against the clear sky
