June 3, 2021Q.Vanda Coerulea Alba Lose Of Leaves
Hi my name is Patrick and I have collection of 10 vandas all grown in my bathroom with t 5 h.o. Light and humidifier. Almost all have bloomed two are to young. I bought this vanda Coerulea Alba August of last year and it was in bad shape at the roots and crown. The crown top of the plant lost its leaves either from crown rot or they cut the top ? I don’t know and don’t know what are the little pyramid things growing out of the top. I thought they were going to bloom but they haven’t done anything. What is happening at the top? And what can be done to get it to grow and flower? Can the plant be divided? Thank you for your time

Certified ExpertA.I only see one stem so I don't see how it could be divided. Those look like growing tips at the top, probably for new leaves or more aerial roots. They need regular fertilization, water, and 80 percent humidity. Provide those and it should bloom off and on all year.

4053Q.One Of My Vandas Is Growing 2 New Stems
I have 4 vandas and in the last month it started throwing a new stems from The heart of the base of the main stem. Now it's starting to grow a 3rd stem so it looks like I'm going to have 3 main stems. Is this normal? None of the others are doing it. Will I be able to separate them from the main stem once they start developing their own roots? It didn't look like it as they are actually a part of the original stem. I didn't think vandas did this, having said that I am fairly new to vandas. I tried to Google but didn't find much. Thanks in advance. You can see the first new stem in fist pic. The second is still forming and is a bump much like a root when it starts but it's a stem.

Certified ExpertA.As these plants grow, it is normal for them to branch out. Unless they do grow their own roots, however, I would not cut them off. It would be best to let it continue to avoid stressing the plant.

April 22, 2022Q.What Could Be Chewing Vanda Orchid Blooms And Buds Off At Their Stems?
A really large vanda orchid had 2 large spikes for the first time in 4 years. The buds were just beginning to open yesterday. I went out this morning to take pictures only to find all the buds and opened flowers on the ground. It appears they have been chewed off. I don"t see anything but was hoping for some insight to this dilemma!

Certified ExpertA.Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. I am unable to say with certainty what has happened.
Rather than something having eaten the blooms, it sounds like they may have aborted. This can happen for several reasons.
Here are some articles that will help:

Certified ExpertA.They will correct themselves, over time. You can prop them into the shape that you would like them, but the plant will do the rest as it follows the light.
