Anything more than this won't be good, less? well your vanda don't get enough either. Feed nutrient only when the vanda plant has enjoy a stable and long enough stay in the medium, whereby it roots eats into the pot steadily. meaning no one would fertilise orchid when it is too young, or when it just got transplanted.
