Thank you and I do believe they are flower spikes. I am curious if you have any idea how to keep them alive so it actually flowers? The last photo shows a spike (?) that started almost 6 months ago but hasn't done any thing, I think it has died :(. The first photo shows another spike(?) that just started about a month ago. I am trying to water it more frequently and it seems happier but I honestly don't know how I should be watering this type of orchid. Any input is appreciated.

Give it a soak in water for 30 minutes or so until the roots turn green. Repeat as frequently as needed to keep the leaves and roots hydrated. You could drop a few big chunks of bark in there to reduce the frequency of watering. Feed weekly with balanced fertilizer. Maybe high phosphorus number while in bud.

Also, give it as much sun as possible

Thank you all for your comments. I am thankful I did not kill this orchid because I have definitely not been watering it enough. Now that I know what type it is I think I can get it to bloom and thrive. Thanks again.

Getgoing always gives great help.

With the soaking of water. I do mines twice a week.

I soak always mine in warm water for at least 15 minutes and then soak again in fertilized water, preferably rain, bottle water or tap if it's good quality. I drain the water out and stick it back in it's spot.

I have one growing in partial hydro loving it. I filled the glass half way with volcano stones and clay ones and let the roots reach for it. I don't leave the roots sitting in the rocks in water. I place them under the roots and rest the plant on top.

Mike, could you post a picture of your vanda and semi-hydro set-up? I'm intrigued.

An alternative to dunking is to get an inexpensive pump sprayer and misting the roots at least 2x daily (morning /evening). With it being in what appears to be a closed vase, I think the misting may be a good route and a way to keep humidity up.

It looks healthy but needs more light IMO, your leaves look a little too dark green to me. Also, vandas like to stay warm, 60-65+ minimum if possible.

Good luck,

Bob
